Is Your Snoring Killing You?

5 Hidden Dangers of Sleep Apnea

It’s time to start taking your snoring seriously – first, find out whether you might have obstructive sleep apnea. According to an article in WebMd,

“…if it happens because you have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), [snoring] is a sign of a bigger problem.
The condition raises your risk for other health issues like high blood pressure and diabetes. It can even make you more dangerous on the road. But when you treat sleep apnea, you can ease or even cure some of these issues.”

Wouldn’t you like to get a hand up on solving some of these problems? According to the article, health problems like
high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, weight gain, and the danger of falling asleep behind the wheel may all be mitigated by treating your sleep apnea. In addition, many people who have had their sleep apnea treated have reported improvement with adult asthma and acid reflux, although studies have not yet documented a link between them.
