Nocturnal snoring: a warning signal your body emits
Researchers have asked individuals who snore regularly to undergo specialized medical examinations, emphasizing that this phenomenon can be a sign of a serious disorder called sleep apnea, which is often wrongly viewed as a mere nightly nuisance. Symptoms include loud or frequent snoring, choking or gasping during sleep, brief pauses in breathing, and waking up feeling tired. Without timely treatment, sleep apnea can increase risks of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and other mood disorders. However, snoring alone does not guarantee sleep apnea, and not everyone who snores will have the disorder.

Nocturnal snoring can be a sign of a serious disorder called sleep apnea, which is often viewed as a mere nightly nuisance. Researchers have indicated that regular snorers should undergo specialized medical examinations for accurate assessment. Symptoms include loud or frequent snoring, choking or gasping during sleep, brief pauses in breathing, and waking up feeling tired. Without timely treatment, sleep apnea can raise risks of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and other mood disorders. However, snoring alone does not guarantee sleep apnea, and not everyone who snores will have the disorder.
Three main types of sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is categorized into three main types:
- Obstructive the most common form, caused by relaxation of throat tissues leading to airway blockage.
- Central caused by impaired signaling from the brain to the muscles involved in breathing.
- Complex a combination of the two above.
Warning signs not to ignore
Key signs include loud or frequent snoring, choking or gasping during sleep, brief pauses in breathing, and waking up with fatigue or grogginess.
Experts warn that without timely treatment, sleep apnea can significantly increase the risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, and other mood disorders.
Nevertheless, snoring alone is not a definite indicator of sleep apnea, and not all snorers will have the disorder.
Risk factors and diagnosis methods
The most important risk factors for sleep apnea include increased weight, enlarged tonsils, and thickening of neck tissues. Conversely, central sleep apnea commonly occurs in association with heart disease, stroke, certain medications (especially narcotics), and aging.
Diagnosis is possible through specialized sleep laboratory tests or home monitoring devices.
