What Causes Mouth Breathing During Sleep?

Hello, inflammation of the nasopharynx, deviated nasal septum, and hypertrophy of the tonsils and adenoids can all easily lead to mouth breathing during sleep. In some cases, habitual mouth breathing develops over time without any underlying nasopharyngeal pathology. Prolonged mouth breathing in children may result in “adenoid facies,” while chronic hypoxia and snoring in adults increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases—such as hypertension. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
