Snoring may seem harmless, but when it happens alongside pauses in breathing, gasping during sleep or persistent daytime tiredness, it could be a sign of obstructive sleep apnoea.
This condition causes breathing to repeatedly stop and start during sleep. It can affect oxygen levels and place additional strain on the cardiovascular system. Untreated sleep apnoea is associated with high blood pressure and an increased risk of other cardiovascular problems.
Not everyone who snores has sleep apnoea, but persistent symptoms deserve medical attention. A healthcare professional can assess your symptoms and determine whether further testing is needed.
Because looking after your heart also means paying attention to what happens while you sleep.
