Snoring trigger a number of dangerous diseases such as hypertension, stroke, and heart

Snoring should not be underestimated. Sleep disorders in medical terms is called sleep apnea is caused by narrowing of the airways. Under certain conditions, these disorders can result in death.

At high levels, can make breathing stops (obstructive sleep apnea). This condition can occur repeatedly with a duration of about 10-60 seconds. "In one night the snoring could stop breathing just as much as 300 times," said Cistulli.

The lack of oxygen supply to all organs, including heart and brain, working hard to function. That is why, in the long term snoring can lead to dangerous diseases such as hypertension, stroke, and heart. The fluctuating levels of oxygen can damage the cells lining blood vessels.

To watch is when the snoring sound grew louder, suddenly stopped, and followed the beat of breath. Conditions that spur the body's organs, especially the heart, work harder to supply oxygen. "And, when awakened will usually feel a headache and daze," he said.
