EVEN
SNORING MAY
CONTRIBUTE
TO
HIGH
BLOOD
PRESSURE
lnvestigations
in
China
found
the
incidence
rate
of snor-
ing
to
be as high as 60%
in
the
male,40o/", females
in
the popu-
lation
aged
41
to
64
years
-
among them, 30.47" have
mod-
erately
severe
snoring
(obstructive sleep apnea)
and
may
be
an important factor caus-
ing hypertension, heart diseases
and strokes. As
these
subjects
also
have significant
day-time
sleepiness, they
also
contribute
to severe tratfic accidents
-
fall-
ing
asleep
while
driving. Thus,
snoring
is
not
just a
nuisance
-
treatment
is
required
if
day{ime
sleepiness occurs despite
ad-
equate sleep.
According
to
WHO,
3,000 people
die
daily
from
sleep-associated
diseases,
mostly obstructive sleep apnea
-
the
"killer in sleep".
Clinically,
95%
of
these patients
are
obese.
Obesity
leads
to narrowing
of
the
throat.
A
vicious cycle forms with
progressive narrowing leading to
sleepiness to worse obesity
to
worse
narrowing, etc.
A
study of
>10,000 subjects with
snoring
found
213
have one
or
more
complications;
nearly
50%
have
hypertension;
the
risk
of
having
coronaries is 3-4 times
higher
than others. Treatment may
be
surgical or non-surgical. Consult
your
doctor!
