Did You Know Snoring Can Be a Symptom of Major Health Risks?

 

THE FACTS BEHIND SNORING AND WHY IT SHOULDN’T BE IGNORED

Snoring is more than just a loud and annoying noise, it can be an indicator of a Sleep Breathing Disorder (SBD) that can be very serious. 

The most common form of a SBD is Obstructive Sleep Apnea, a medical condition where your tongue and soft tissues close off your airway and stop air from entering your lungs.

SNORING

OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA (OSA)

 Impact and Symptoms of Sleep Apnoea

Due to the fact that so few people are aware that they have Obstructive Sleep Apnea, the disease is extremely difficult to treat. Some of the symptoms that people with sleep apnea may experience include:

  • Not sleeping well at night.
  • Feeling exhausted and unrefreshed when I wake up in the morning.
  • Experiencing daytime fatigue and falling asleep more readily.
  • Experiencing mental exhaustion, having trouble focusing, and requiring more work to remain vigilant.
  • Sweating at night.
  • Waking up to go to the bathroom at night. This is because when you wake up, your heart releases a hormone. This prevents you from passing water at night and forces you to use the restroom in the morning. However, some people with sleep apnea wake up in the middle of the night to urinate if they are continuously partially waking up every hour. A common misconception is that they have a weak bladder or something.
  • Waking up in the mornings with a headache.
  • Choking or gasping when you wake up in the middle of the night. This is due to the fact that obstructive sleep apnea causes breathing to stop during sleep and may be so severe that you have to wake up completely in order to breathe again.
  • Waking up in the mornings with a headache.
  • Indigestion and heartburn. Acid reflux symptoms, a lump in your throat, constant throat clearing, a hoarse voice when speaking or singing, and sporadic throat spasms when swallowing are some of the symptoms.
  • Having a sore or dry throat when you wake up. The tissue at the back of the throat vibrates or flaps when someone snores. Usually experienced in the morning, discomfort is caused by repeated trauma to this tissue.
  • Experiencing a decrease in sexual drive.
