Stop snoring - Dr. Thomas Penzel in our studio interview

Dr. Thomas Penzel works at the Interdisplinary Medical Sleep Centre at the Charité Teaching Hospital Berlin.  Snoring can be completely harmless, but it also causes a rise in blood pressure, putting strain on the heart and circulation – this can prove fatal. Therefore, chronic snorers should undergo a check up.
