Does your loved one snore? Is it one of those all-nite-long snores, the kind that keeps you from getting a good night’s rest? Well you are not alone. It is estimated that six out of 10 people snore. That means that 59% of the population is snoring and even more people are affected by a snoring partner.
Few people realized the severity of snoring. It can be debilitating to your every day life. It can cause gasping, chronic fatigue, morning headaches, even poor memory and mental performance. This happens because people who snore take in less oxygen.
In more severe cases snoring can lead to :
- High blood pressure
- Stroke
- Daytime fatigue
- Dementia
- Diabetes
- Cardiovascular disorders
- Memory problems
- Depression
In most cases the tongue falls to the back of the mouth and blocks the airway as the person sleeps. This leads to snoring. Now there are products available to stop this and get you and your loved one back to sleep. Anti-snoring devices are simple and non-invasive. We can get you set up with one here in our office.
If you are tired of being kept up all night by your partner’s snoring, or you are just down right tired because you snore yourself, give us a call. I would love to get you back to feeling well rested and more ready for what life can offer. No one should suffer from snoring. Sleep well.
To your health,
Dr. Bob
