Some people often wonder does asthma cause snoring ?

In fact, Asthma doesn’t cause snoring, but there are aspects about asthmatics that might contribute to ones snoring. First of all, let’s look at snoring and what it is. Snoring is generally not caused by any serious medical condition, with the exception of the link between snoring and sleep apnea. Two common causes of snoring are nasal issues like colds or allergies and enlarged adenoids and tonsils which might block the airways. Each of these contribute to asthma conditions as well.

However, snoring may be an early indicator of asthma in children. “Night cough is often taken as a sign of the onset or development of asthma in a young child,” says Dr. Colin E. Sullivan, a professor of medicine at the University of Sydney. “Our study shows that such coughing might be being triggered by the child’s snoring.”

Nighttime cough, Goodwin explains, is often used to diagnose asthma in children, but the findings suggest that in some cases snoring may be causing the coughing.

Although snoring may raise the risk of night cough even in children who do not have asthma, Sullivan notes that childhood asthma and snoring do appear to be linked, pointing out that more than 40 percent of children who snored had asthma, compared to about 26 percent of children who did not snore.

Children who snored at least four nights a week were much more likely to have night cough. While just under 31 percent of all children in the study coughed during the night, almost 62 percent of snoring children had a nighttime cough.

Since night cough is often a symptom of asthma, the researchers examined the link between snoring and night cough in kids with and without the lung disease.

Among children who did not have asthma, nighttime cough was twice as common in children who snored than in those who did not. Similarly, children with asthma who snored were much more likely to have a night cough than asthmatic children who did not snore.
