Snoring: The Silent Heart Attack Risk for Young Adults

• Heart attack cases are rising among young adults (20-30 years old), attributed to poor lifestyle and an often overlooked factor: snoring.
• Dr. Aditi Sharma highlights how snoring, often dismissed as normal, can be a significant heart attack risk.
• Snoring causes repeated airway collapse, leading to sudden blood pressure spikes and decreased oxygen, forcing the heart to overwork.
• This continuous strain silently damages the heart, contributing to heart attacks in seemingly healthy young individuals.
• Addressing snoring through sleep position adjustments, weight loss, and medical consultation for sleep apnea is crucial to mitigate risk.

Why It Matters: Snoring is a critical, often ignored, risk factor for heart attacks in young adults due to its impact on heart health.
