How Wearing Compression Stockings Could Stop You Snoring

Normally, the leg muscles help pump fluid back up to the body, but this flow is hampered in those with poor circulation or who are largely sedentary.
Experts believe an accumulation of this fluid can flow back towards the head when the patient lies down at night. The idea behind the stockings is that they prevent tissue fluid - a clear liquid that is a constitute of blood - pooling in the legs during the day
The fluid then collects around the throat, squeezing the tissue and triggering sleep apnoea.
The theory is that wearing the stockings during the day will squeeze the veins and help the muscles push the fluid back up to the rest of the body.
