If you could chose to sleep in a snore-free room every night would you? Snoring is joked about continually, but people forget snoring is a deadly and dangerous medical condition.
Here is my list of 7 Dangers of Snoring You Need to Know!
- Odds are snorers have: a 40% chance of an increase in hypertension, 34% chance of having a heart attack, and a 67% chance of having a stroke.
