Why do some people snore?
Filed in archive Studies on August 12, 2005
The shape of the throat has a lot to do with why some people snore:
By carrying out head and neck scans of snorers and non-snorers, the Slovenia team found it was down to the shape of the throat.
Snorers have narrower throats and the smaller the opening is, the louder the snore.
Contrary to popular opinion, nasal blockages do not cause snoring though they may "amplify the loudness", the researchers told Chest journal.

I have been diagosed with a small venous angioma in the right frontal lobe, are there any symptoms with this and should I be concerned, I am 31 years old, also I have had a pressure or tight feeling in my head could this just be stress?
