Snoring Is Called Potentially Serious Health Risk

Billboard of U.S. Soldier and Muslim Sparks Controversy in California

The Finnish survey of more than 7,000 men and women, published last year in The Lancet, a British medical journal, found that heavy snorers had significantly more high blood pressure than nonsnorers. It also found that male habitual snorers had significantly more angina pectoris, or heart pains, than nonsnorers, and that this was unrelated to whether the men were obese or had high blood pressure. The study said it was ”an open question” exactly how snoring was related to high blood pressure or angina. Periods of Total Blockage Many experts view obstructive sleep apnea as the most extreme form of snoring and its most dangerous health problem. In most snoring, the airway is only partially blocked; but in apnea the airway is totally blocked. The victims typically snore loudly for a while, then become silent while they struggle unsuccessfully to breathe.
