Sleep Apnea
Snoring may be more than an annoyance; it can also be a symptom of a life-threatening medical condition called sleep apnea. More than 20 million Americans experience this condition, which causes shallow breaths or pauses in breathing throughout the night, making it difficult for the lungs to get enough air. If left untreated, it may lead to…
- Hypertension
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Depression
- Muscle pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Morning headaches
- Daytime sleepiness
