I just noticed something last night ... I always snore whenever I have a flare-up. Before I was diagnosed with RA, I never snored ... but now every time my hands and knees flare up, I snore really loud ... is it just a coincidence? .. or is the inflammation going to my internal organs ... would it be the heart or lungs?
Perhaps your sinuses are inflamed? I tend to snore when my allergies are acting up, because my sinuses and the rest of the upper airway are inflamed. I've never noticed it being connected to RA flares, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Allergic responses are also due to a wacky immune system.
