If you have dismissed the complaints of your partner about your snoring, it is about time you took her more seriously. Snoring could be an indicator of medical conditions like hypertension and erectile dysfunction.

A person generally tends to snore when the wind pipes are obstructed in some way during his sleep. This does not usually pose any serious health risks under normal circumstances, but loud, persistent snoring could be an indicator of a condition called ‘obstructive sleep apnoea’- where one stops breathing altogether for as long as 15 seconds during sleep. This occurs because the soft palate tends to get lengthened when you snore, obstructing breathing.

If you are wondering how this could be connected to erectile dysfunction, the link is a small cluster of sensors in the throat called the ‘carotid body’. The carotid body detects the oxygen levels in the blood. During snoring, the oxygen levels in your blood drop, causing the carotid body to trigger an alarm to raise the blood pressure. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a major cause of erectile dysfunction. So, if you have not taken snoring as a serious issue till now, it is time you did and consulted your doctor to rule off any other medical conditions. Effective treatment is now available to cure you of the habit.
