Snoring seems to be so common that most people does not take it as a potential
threat to health. This in itself post the greatest health threat to the person
who's snoring.
Generally snoring is caused by obstruction to the air
passage way when you sleep. The body could not breathe properly. At one point
when the oxygen level is low, the brain will trigger the body to breathe, that's
why some people actually gasp just to restore the breathing.
So what's
the big deal with snoring? It's not the sound (although this can be very
disturbing to a partner), rather it is the effect on the person.
Snoring can
be a sign of those who have sleep apnea. Notice that this doesn't mean all
snorers have sleep apnea nor all those with sleep apnea are snorers. However in
most cases it is the case.
Apnea means pauses in breathing. This is a
sleep disorder where the person's sleep is constantly disrupted because of
breathing disruption. As a result, the patient cannot get into deep sleep which
is needed for the body to restore common functionality and to properly
rest.
Listed below are some of the common dangers of sleep
apnea:
1. Constant feeling of fatigue as the body has not fully
rested.
2. Feeling of agitation and mood swing. This is a result of not
having enough rest.
3. Unable to concentrate and fully focus on what is
on hand.
4. Feeling sleepy during the day - this is a major concern
especially if your profession involves activities which need high level of
alertness, like in working in construction site or even driving trucks etc.
Beware, this is one cause which may be a danger to you and others.
5.
Increase risk of heart problem.
Depending on the "intensity" of sleep
apnea that you are having, appropriate treatment can be taken to help you with
it.
