Research also found snorers are at an increased risk of suffering from cognitive decline.
Snoring is normally considered a harmless yet irritating habit that most people live with, but research suggests it can actually be a sign of something more serious.
It occurs when a person's muscles in the roof of the mouth, tongue and throat relax, producing the disruptive snoring sound. According to a Swedish study, presented at a medical conference in Barcelona, those with the condition may have a greater risk of developing blood clots in their veins. “If your throat closes completely when you sleep, you stop breathing for a time. It’s called an apnoea if it lasts for 10 seconds or more,” says Asthma and Lung UK.
Study author Dr Nicola Marchi said: “We found that obstructive sleep apnoea, and in particular low oxygen levels during sleep, was associated with a greater decline in cognitive function, processing speed and verbal memory.” The study found that “individuals with severe sleep apnoea are at increased risk for coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and stroke.
