Are you snoring yourself to death?

(ARA) - Do you feel tired all day, even if you slept a full 8 hours? Do you suffer from unexplained headaches, high blood pressure, cardiac problems and excessive daytime sleepiness? Believe it or not, all your problems could stem from snoring.

Snoring is more than just bothersome, it can be hazardous to your health. That's because snoring is the most common symptom of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that literally causes you to stop breathing a multitude of times at night. And you often aren't even aware it's happening.

People suffering from OSA stop breathing at night when their jaw, throat and tongue muscles relax, which causes the airway to become obstructed. Snoring is a symptom that the obstruction is occurring. OSA has been linked to a host of health problems, including:

  • Heart attack
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Depression
  • Diabetes
Diagnosing and treating OSA can be a costly affair. A full sleep study to diagnose the problem can cost up to $5,000 or more, must be done at a certified sleep center and involves an overnight stay. Prescribed treatments may include losing weight, wearing a costly and uncomfortable continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device that forces air through your nose and mouth to keep your airways open, or even surgery.

There is a more cost-effective, simpler alternative. A case study published by Eastern Virginia Medical School's Division of Sleep Medicine in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine concludes that wearing a simple chinstrap to sleep can be an effective treatment for OSA. A strap can reposition the jaw and tongue, preventing obstruction from occurring.

The news comes as no surprise to Stephen Matthews, inventor of the My Snoring Solution chinstrap. Matthews himself suffered from OSA until a flash of inspiration prompted him to wear a makeshift chinstrap to sleep. Years later, the My Snoring Solution chinstrap has helped thousands of wearers relieve snoring symptoms, sleep better and feel healthier.
