Obesity Blamed as Number of Snorers Seeking Medical Help Soars by 31% in Five Years
It seems that the number of snorers seeking medical help has soared by nearly a third in just five years to a record level. Hospitals have revealed that patients went for 24,329 appointments last year after being referred to consultants – almost 500 every week. Obesity has been cited as a major factor for the figure rising 31 per cent in five years from 18,523 and more than doubling from 11,714 a decade ago. Snoring can lead to sleep apnoea, a more serious condition where patients have short periods when they cannot breathe. The brain wakes them so they take in more oxygen but the cumulative effect means the patient has a dreadful night’s sleep and can often drop off during the day.
