In general, snoring increases after consumption of alcohol, drugs and sleeping pills. These things also have the effect of increasing muscle relaxation. At the same time, the same cannot be said about smoking. It is because smoking lowers the sensitivity to oxygen and the respiratory center of the brain that leads to a significant increase in the intensity of snoring. But by itself, a loud sound that occurs when snoring is completely harmless to the person snoring, although, of course, causes some difficulties for the people in the vicinity of the snoring person.

It is much more dangerous than all other aspects of snoring. At times, drawn into the nose and throat, muscles are able to block the flow of air into the lungs either in part or in full, which causes a complete cessation of breathing. When it happens like this, the snoring person does not breathe for a few seconds but it is followed by a strong, deep and sharp noisy snore.

This occurrence is known as “apnea” in medical parlance. It causes the heart to work with a much greater load, which is not good for the snoring person. What happens is this load on the heart causes disruptions to the heart beats (in other words – an arrhythmia) and leads to an increase in pressure. The fall of the oxygen concentration in the blood causes changes in the brain and the snoring person goes out of normal and proper sleep.

Such stress or pressure, emerging from a variety of adverse effects during the night may be repeated more than a few times and can weaken the health of not only the people who snore but any person, even the person with the most robust body. When subjected to such pressures from the heart, muscles begin to weaken over a period of time. What is worse, the situation gets complicated by the development of hypertension, and it becomes a constant companion of the first illness.

It is because, snoring causes an increase in blood pressure, which in turn provokes the accumulation of excess weight, and thus contributes to the development of snoring. If a snoring person happens to acquire systematic apnea, then it causes constant reloading of the heart and blood vessels, which leads to heart attacks and strokes in the end. Naturally, it needs no emphasis to state we should be careful and avoid such a situation.
