I've heard that a snoring habit can lead to a stroke. Is there any truth to this?

Yes, it's true that loud and disruptive snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea, which is a condition that causes breathing difficulties during sleep. Sleep apnea can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other health problems. So if you or someone you know is experiencing loud and disruptive snoring, it's important to talk to your doctor about getting tested for sleep apnea.
