Snoring is generally harmless for most people but snoring on a frequent or regular basis has been directly associated with hypertension. Obesity and a large neck can contribute to sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can be treated; men and women who snore loudly, especially if pauses in the snoring are noted, should consult a physician.
Snoring and Diabetes
Snoring has many implications. But, even if you sleep alone, snoring may be doing you damage. In a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology researchers found that snoring can lead to type II diabetes. The findings were the result of a 10 year follow-up on the Nurses Health Study which had participation from 69,852 US female nurses aged 40-65.
Snoring and Your Sex Life
Snoring has an obvious impact on relationships. In a study of 4,900 snoring patients Dr. Mansoor Madani found that over 80% of couples slept in separate bedrooms putting a tremendous stress on relationships.
"The stress suffered by the snorer's bed partner isn't the only stress with which we should concern ourselves," says Dr. Madani, Director of Center For Corrective Surgery and pioneer of many surgical techniques to correct this annoying sound. "Patients also realize it is a major social challenge and it turns out that snoring can have negative effects on the sexual function of the snorer as well," adds Dr. Madani. The findings confirm another study that a significant number of heavy snorers have reduced sexual drive. According to Dr. Madani, over 50% of snoring men also experience erectile dysfunction.
Snoring occurs because of vibration of tissues in the throat or behind the tongue. They include an excessively large tongue, tonsils or soft palate and elongated uvula—the punching bag in the back of your throat. "When these tissues block your windpipe during sleep, you stop breathing—a serious condition known as sleep apnea. Snoring is one of the major signs of this deadly disorder. This interrupted breathing causes the concentration of oxygen in your body to drop, leading to fatigue, depression and sexual dysfunction," according to Dr. Madani.
Most snorers, however, do not realize they have sleep deprivation because they may be so tired they think they are good sleepers. Generally, an individual suffering from sleep apnea may not be getting the full night's sleep he or she needs.
Snoring and sleep apnea can also lead to other complications, including high blood pressure, increased risk of heart attack or stroke and excessive daytime sleepiness. Any and all of these conditions can suppress a healthy interest in sex.
Snoring May Increase Chronic Bronchitis Risk
Investigators in Ansan, South Korea have found snoring may significantly increase susceptibility to chronic bronchitis. The study was supported by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
Regular snoring was associated with a 25% to 68% increased frequency of new-onset chronic bronchitis compared with those who never snored, Chol Shin, M.D., Ph.D., of Korea University Ansan Hospital, and colleagues reported today in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Compared with those who did not smoke or snore the combination of smoking and snoring almost tripled the likelihood of chronic bronchitis.
