Loud snoring is often overlooked as a mere nuisance, but it can indicate serious health issues such as sleep apnea, warns Dr. Shirley Koeh. Persistent snoring, daytime fatigue, and breathing pauses during sleep are red flags that should not be ignored. Beyond just disrupting sleep, loud snoring poses a threat to brain and heart health. Addressing the root causes of snoring, which may include weight management and airway issues, is crucial for overall well-being and restoring restful sleep. It’s important to understand the difference between normal snoring and chronic snoring as it could be a sign of a more severe condition like sleep apnea, which can impact various aspects of health.
