October can bring cooler temperatures, changing weather, and plenty of time spent indoors. For people with allergies, asthma, or other breathing concerns, those seasonal changes may also bring more noticeable symptoms.
You wake up with a dry mouth, scratchy throat, or that unpleasant feeling that you spent the night breathing through your mouth.
It may be more than just needing a glass of water.
A stuffy nose can be frustrating, especially when it seems to stick around long after you expected to feel better. But does lingering congestion mean you have a sinus infection?
Not necessarily.
For many people, fall allergies mean weeks of sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and a constantly runny nose. While over-the-counter allergy medicine may provide some relief, what happens when your allergy symptoms keep coming back or never fully go away?
Breathing through your mouth once in a while is normal. But if you regularly find yourself breathing through your mouth during the day or while sleeping, it may be a sign that your nose isn't allowing air to pass through as easily as it should.

Occasional snoring may not be a concern, but persistent or worsening snoring could be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that deserves medical attention.
