COLLEGEVILLE AND PHILADELPHIA, PA – Snoring has been the scourge of many a marriage throughout history.

But in addition to being an annoyance to spouses, snoring can be a sign of a more serious problem: sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea is a breathing problem caused when the tonsils, tongue or fatty tissue in the throat blocks the airway to the lungs. Approximately 18 million people have sleep apnea, according to Orbit Medical.
