Neighbours' 'Heroic Snoring' May Signal Serious Health Issue
Residents of a quiet neighbourhood have been kept awake by a phenomenon they've dubbed 'Heroic Snoring'. The loud noise, audible through walls, could be a sign of a serious medical condition.
Snoring is common, but 'Heroic Snoring' is not. It's often a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep. This can lead to frequent breathing interruptions, causing loud snoring and potentially dangerous health issues.
Men are more likely to snore, and alcohol, sedating medications, nasal congestion, and mouth breathing can exacerbate the problem. To reduce snoring, experts recommend avoiding alcohol and certain medications before bed, treating allergies, sleeping on your side, elevating your head, and maintaining a healthy weight. Dental devices and methods to stiffen the soft palate can also help.
If you live alone, recording your sleep can help diagnose snoring or sleep apnea. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to daytime fatigue, high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. It can also cause long-term changes to cardiac, circulation, and brain function.
If your snoring is loud enough to be heard through walls, it's time to take action. Consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. Adopt lifestyle changes and consider treatment options to ensure a good night's sleep and protect your health.
