A recent study reveals that loud snoring and persistent fatigue even after a full night's sleep might increase the risk of stroke.

Sleep apnea, a condition characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep, often accompanied by snoring and frequent awakenings, affects millions globally.

Despite its prevalence, many cases go undiagnosed. The disorder is already associated with serious health risks like high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression.

Now, US researchers from Stanford University have found that sleep apnea substantially heightens the chances of atrial fibrillation and stroke, making it five times more likely. 

This significant finding, based on two studies involving around 1.7 million individuals aged 20 to 50 over a decade, is being presented at the European Society of Cardiology's annual meeting.

Those with sleep apnea disorder were found to have a five-fold increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation and a 60% higher likelihood of experiencing a stroke later in life. The study underscores the importance of addressing sleep apnea due to its profound impact on heart health, even in relatively young individuals.
