Snoring and Heart Disease

Make sure that you let your doctor know if you or your spouse snores.  The obstruction of airflow through the airways can make the amount of oxygen in the blood decrease.  Over time, this can lead to lower heart function.  The plethora of medical supplies on the market nowadays can assist in improving your sleep, and in turn your heart's health. 

I believe in treating obstructive sleep apnea so much, that if I ever had it, I would want a CPAP, or other device to increase my airflow at night.  No one likes to feel fatigued during the day because of restless sleep and low oxygen in the heart.
