 In fact, research suggests that heavy snoring may raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. Obstructive sleep apnea (in which snoring is often a symptom) is a condition in which a person briefly stops breathing at night. This condition "has deleterious effects on your overall well being, and these patients are at an increased cardiovascular risk overall," says Dr. Leo Pozuelo, associate director of the Bakken Heart Brain Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.
