Is loud snoring dangerous?

doctor’s advice

According to the doctor, snoring is a sign of frequent closure of the respiratory tract during sleep. Every time the breath stops, the oxygen level in the body falls, due to which the blood pressure suddenly increases. Due to these fluctuations the heart has to work harder than usual.

This process happens every night and gradually damages the heart. Doctor Aditi says that this is the reason why even youth are becoming victims of heart attacks these days. He clarified that this is not happening only due to stress or mobile phones. People are ignoring the warning that the body is giving, and that warning is snoring.

snoring solution

The doctor advised that if a person snores regularly, it should not be taken lightly. By taking timely precautions, serious diseases can be avoided in future.

He also suggested some solutions. First of all, snoring should be checked. It is necessary to improve the sleeping position. If you are overweight, you should lose weight. Also, sleep apnea should also be checked. According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, sleep apnea is a serious condition.

If there are repeated interruptions in breathing while sleeping, the body does not get enough oxygen. Therefore, it is very important to consult a doctor on time.
