Of all the snoring related physical ailments, arguably the most severe and ironically least understood is a condition called Sleep ApneaThe word apnea in the term sleep apnea derives from the Greek term for absence of breathing. That, in a nutshell, gives a sense of how dangerous sleep apnea can be; it literally refers to a condition where breathing stops during sleep.
One of the very strange challenges that the entire topic of snoring faces, is that, well, most people donât think itâs all that big of a problem. As a result, many people are quite skeptical when told that snoring is a severe physical and emotional health problem.
