Snoring before the age of 50 can be risky: Study

Numerous studies show a link between loud snoring and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

According to a recent study, those under 50 who snore at night are more likely to experience long-term health problems as a result of their snoring. At the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Amsterdam, the study was presented. According to Independent, the study’s conclusions show that those who snore at night have an increased risk of having a stroke or getting heart disease in the future.

Data from 766,000 US people between the ages of 20 and 50 were analysed by researchers. 7,500 of these adults suffered from obstructive sleep apnoea. A person with sleep apnea may experience disturbed sleep and wake up when they are unable to breathe. The study discovered that patients with sleep apnoea had a 60% higher chance of having a stroke compared to those who did not snore as frequently over the course of the study’s 10-year follow-up period.

The study also discovered that snorers have an increased risk of atrial fibrillation. This illness causes an unreliable and very rapid heartbeat. Professor Sanjiv Narayan, the primary author of the study and a professor at Stanford University, is quoted by Independent as saying: “Sleep apnoea is really common but we sort of ignore it because we think it’s trivial or just a little bit of a nuisance.” “Until now no one’s really shown the magnitude of the size of the risk for heart diseases. That’s what really surprised us.” he added.

He continued by saying that the study focused on “relatively young people” who might not be aware of their danger.

“If they had a stroke, it would devastate young families. It could take them away from their workplace. It would destroy their lives for the next 40 years.”

Get medical attention –Snoring is a sign

The airway becomes blocked by relaxed throat muscles, causing obstructive sleep apnea. Throughout sleep, this occurs frequently on and off. Snoring is a sign of obstructive sleep apnea.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, get medical attention:

• Snoring that is loud enough to prevent you from sleeping or others from sleeping.
• Gasping or choking when awakening.
• Breathing slowly when you sleep.
• Becoming excessively sleepy during the day. You might experience this and nod off while working, watching television, or even while operating a vehicle.

Not everyone who snores has obstructive sleep apnea, and snoring alone is not always a sign of something potentially problematic.

If you snore loudly or if there are silent intervals between your snores, talk to a member of your medical staff right away. When you lie on your back, snoring might be louder and breath interruptions known as apneas might be more frequent.
