I've heard that if I have a snoring problem I might have sleep apnea. Is this true?

Yes, it is possible you may have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition where the muscles in your throat relax during sleep and block the airway, causing you to stop breathing for short periods of time. This can happen up to 20 times per hour. If left untreated, sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, memory problems, and more.
