“Sleep apnea can really jack up your heart if left untreated”
Maybe that will finally work to get my husband to discuss his painful-sounding snoring (with sudden stops) with a doctor and push to get sent for a sleep study!
- joveian 5y agoHopefully :). If it is long and severe enough snoring can physically damage all sorts of stuff (nerves, blood vessels, airway) similar to occupational vibration exposure. Changing sleeping position can help and can sometimes be enough in less severe cases (both apnea and snoring).
- joeman1000 5y agoIt effects your heart, brain and general health. It makes it harder to lose weight, store memories and generally live a fulfilling life. It sapped all of my energy for years. I had it as a young guy, starting at 18, only slightly overweight. I treated it by working towards a healthy BMI, getting rhino-septoplasty, using a CPAP machine and finally mouth-taping. Mouth-taping has replaced CPAP for me. It’s discussed more in James Nestor’s book ‘Breath’. Good luck to you and your husband.
