6. Snoring
You may occasionally snore while you sleep. Sleep apnea can be caused by loud snoring, which sounds like you are choking or gasping. This is when your breathing stops for a few seconds several times a night, even though you’re still asleep. This adds extra stress to your heart. To determine if you are suffering from this condition, your doctor will perform a Sleep Study. A CPAP machine may be necessary to help you breathe while you sleep.
