    More Than Just A Nuisance, It'S A Health Problem - Snoring Woman

    While bulk of the world's population are led to think that snoring is a problem exclusively of men, recent studies express that 19% of women snore. In addition, a snoring woman is just as prone as developing similar complications experienced by men, including sleep apnea. Sleep apnea outcomes in sleepiness and weariness during daytime.

    A snoring woman is related with developing high blood pressure and other cardio-vascular disease. Snoring during pregnancy is also associated to high blood pressure. At this period, a snoring woman is at risk of developing a more serious problem called pre-eclampsia. A snoring woman with pre-eclampsia develops swelling of and elevated blood pressure as well as having protein in the urine during pregnancy. Obstetricians and gynecologists usually order urinalysis to be performed during the stages in pregnancy to detect if protein is present in the urine.

    Additionally, other elements add to high blood pressure in women that result to snoring. The rise of women smokers, weight, sleeping on backs, high cholesterol, hormones, and oral contraceptives are some of the known suspects. If snoring becomes excessive in women, medical advice should be sought. Hypertension and heart disease may complicate as a result to the alleviation of oxygen in the blood.

    Medical recognition is important especially for pregnant women. High blood pressure usually springs up during pregnancy because women at this stage generally put up some weight to compensate the growth of the fetus. More so, breathing during pregnancy is affected by the pressure taken on the diaphragm as the uterus enlarges to accommodate the growing baby. The alleviated oxygen in the blood in pregnant women may be detrimental to the fetus' development especially the nervous system. Oxygen is an extremely essential to the developing baby and a lack of it may be one of the causes of growth retardation or even mortality. A snoring woman tended to give birth to infants with lower birth weights and Apgar (heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflex, and color) scores.

    Another study, on the other hand, concluded that a snoring woman is related with having a high body mass index (BMI) and also depended on her age. Depending on the BMI, other risk reasons include alcohol dependence in lean women who reportedly snored as well as physical inactivity. This study showed the heavier a woman is, the more she becomes a snoring woman. Moreover, the study concluded that snoring in women peaked between the ages 50-59.

    A snoring woman is more than just a nuisance, health troubles could already be involved so that it's best to visit a health professional early on.
