Answers for us.
Case
Mr. Lin, 48, of Fuzhou, is a big fat mound, and not only that, he is also a "super sleepy bug". For more than 10 years, he had never seen a movie in its entirety, and slept without looking at it twice at the beginning; driving was always sleepy, his eyelids were always fighting, and there were several accidents; when the meeting was not halfway open, he had already nodded his head and snored; all day long listless, always saying that he did not sleep enough.
Go to the hospital, the doctor said
Mr. Lin is suffering
Severe sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome
This disease is closely related to hypertension and cardiovascular disease
Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome refers to more than 30 apneas during 7 consecutive hours of sleep, with each airflow stoppage ≥ 10 seconds, or an average of more than 5 times of hypopnea per hour (pause plus hypopnea combined). Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome is mild with dry mouth, daytime drowsiness, decreased work efficiency, and severe resulting in hypertension, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome is strongly associated with hypertension
Snoring is very common, but if the snoring is undulating, irregular, or even breathing interruption, then you must go to the hospital for sleep breath monitoring to determine whether there is sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome.
According to statistics, 35% to 80% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome have hypertension; among hypertensive patients, 30-50% have sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome is the number one risk factor for hypertension.
▲ Why sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome causes hypertension (main mechanism)
Then sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome
What are the characteristics of high blood pressure?
How is sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome treated?
In addition to going to the hospital as soon as possible, diagnosis and treatment as early as possible
There are also a few points to note
