10 Warning Signs of A Heart Attack
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Warning Sign #4: Snoring
Snoring is a common condition that can be very frustrating, particularly for the patient’s partner. As irritating as it can be, it is usually otherwise harmless and is generally caused by the air passages being restricted as the patient sleeps. It can be a symptom of sleep apnea, though, and this can lead to further problems.
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes the patient to wake at night as their breathing stops temporarily. This is not usually as dangerous as it might sound, except in extreme cases, but it can potentially put extra strain on the heart. If you do have the condition, you should arrange to get it checked it out as soon as you are able.
