Allergies and sleep apnea: How are they connected?

Dr. Young of Monmouth and Ocean County, NJ Shares Allergies and sleep apnea: How are they connected?

Although allergies do not specifically seem to cause sleep apnea, there is still a connection. Nasal congestion from allergies creates nasal congestion which dries out your mouth or blocks your breathing pathways. As a result, obstructive sleep apneas can be longer and more frequent than in patients without allergic conditions.
