Can snoring cause a stomach ache? Yes, and a whole lot more, if it\u2019s left untreated. <\/p>\nCan snoring cause a stomach ache? Yes, and a whole lot more, if it\u2019s left untreated. <\/p>\n
Snoring and sleep apnea affect millions of people (and their families), with impacts that range from the annoyance of the awful sounds to the devastation of losing loved ones to preventable diseases. <\/p>\n
Snoring is not just an annoyance. Today we will be discussing 7 serious health risks of snoring. And we\u2019re not just talking about the dreaded sleep apnea.<\/p>\n
Plus I\u2019ll tell you about a simple technique to eliminate snoring forever. It\u2019s easy, takes as little as 3 minutes and works for almost everyone.<\/p>\n
Snoring and sleep apnea don\u2019t necessarily kill people. But the preventable problems that crop up if it\u2019s left untreated certainly can. That\u2019s why many industries are taking notice and making healthy sleep a job-contingent requirement. <\/p>\n
Some of the health risks from snoring can be minimal, like feeling run down during the day. However, some can lead to tragedy, as you\u2019ll see below. <\/p>\n
IF ever there were a time to reverse snoring and\/or sleep apnea, it\u2019s now:<\/p>\n
High blood pressure-<\/strong> Snoring and sleep apnea seriously limit the amount of restorative sleep a person gets. Long term, he stress and strain of not getting proper sleep causes blood pressure to creep steadily upward. When high blood pressure is left untreated, heart disease, stroke, and heart attack can quickly follow<\/p>\n Stroke-<\/strong> This is a potentially deadly medical emergency that doesn\u2019t even need hypertension as its precursor. The risk of stroke increases dramatically for people who snore. And as other complications like apnea are added, the risk climbs.<\/p>\n Arrhythmia-<\/strong> the stress on the heart of lack of proper sleep and the circulation insult from lack of oxygen are very damaging to the heart. It can become enlarged and\/or develop an arrhythmia that can be very difficult- even impossible- to reverse. Arrhythmia alone isn\u2019t always deadly, but this irregular pattern of the heart beat untreated over time can be.<\/p>\n Fetal demise-<\/strong> It is difficult enough on the snoring sufferer, with all the health risks that come with snoring. But on top of that, if a woman is also pregnant, t is not only she who is suffering from the lack of oxygen. Fetuses are only protected so much by a mother\u2019s body. But every insult can\u2019t be eliminated for baby. The worse apnea and snoring are, the higher the risk of fetal abnormalities, learning delays, and even fetal demise.<\/p>\n Acid Reflux-<\/strong> A stomach ache seems more like a nuisance than a serious health risk. But snoring has been proven to exacerbate, and may even cause, gastro esophageal reflux disease, or GERD. Untreated, acid washing up into the esophagus will change the lining, causing erosive esophagitis and later Barrett\u2019s Disease, where the cells become deformed into something more like what lines the stomach. The final insult over time is that cancer can form due to the abnormal cell growth.<\/p>\n
