Many people always think that sleeping and snoring means sleeping soundly, and the louder the snoring, the more fragrant the sleep.
But in fact, also! true! No! be!
Snoring itself is not a good sign, not to mention that severe snoring often indicates a syndrome of obstructive sleep apnea disorder, but also the risk of suffocation in sleep.
What is even more devastating is that it is the pillow person who sleeps next to the snoring, and the 365 ° stereo surround sound can always be accompanied by the rich and unpleasant "symphony" no matter what time and place.
The 7-year-old boy snored for 4 consecutive years, and the result was adenoidal hypertrophy
Recently, a 7-year-old boy in Hengshui, Hebei Province, was always listless in class, and then snored frequently when he slept at night, and always opened his mouth to breathe when he slept.
So the family rushed to take the boy to the hospital, the result was found that the boy's adenoidal hypertrophy, the doctor found through the examination and consultation, the boy began to snore from the age of 2 or 3, but did not get the attention of the parents.
Doctors said that the oversizing of the adenoids causes children to snore, open mouth to breathe, lack of sleep and other phenomena, if not treated in time for a long time, it will also cause children's mental retardation, adenoidal face and other conditions.
If you find that your child is snoring, it is recommended that you need to seek medical examination and treatment in time.
Why are snoring friends always unable to wake themselves up?
Generally speaking, snorers generally do not snore when they are in a light sleep state, but only snor when they are in a deep sleep state, so they cannot hear their own snoring.
In addition, the brain has become familiar with its own rhythm, and the sensitivity of snoring has weakened for a long time, so it is impossible to hear snoring.
Although I didn't find it, snoring is really a very dangerous signal!
For severe snoring, such as strong sleep, and extremely irregular, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time and diagnose whether you have sleep breathing disorders through professional sleep monitoring.
Severe snoring, if not treated in a timely and effective manner, will occur these phenomena:
First, increase the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes
Patients with snoring can damage the walls of blood vessels, reduce vascular elasticity, and induce or worsen hypertension due to repeated apnea or decreased airflow. In addition, frequent snoring can easily lead to insulin resistance, disrupt glucose metabolism, and induce or aggravate diabetes.
Second, it affects sleep
Snoring will suddenly interrupt sleep, which can easily lead to hypoxemia and hypercapnia, causing people to wake up frequently due to sleep apnea, resulting in scattered sleep and reduced deep sleep time, thereby reducing sleep quality.
Third, increase the risk of myocardial infarction
Due to repeated apnea during sleep, it will reduce the oxygen content in the blood, make the heart ischemic, hypoxia, increase the risk of complex arrhythmias, and even induce coronary heart disease.
Fourth, symptoms of hypoxia
Due to sleep apnea, coupled with airway stenosis, it will reduce oxygen intake, make the organs of the whole body ischemia and hypoxia, and accelerate the decline rate of organs.
Fifth, other issues
Pregnant women who snore have a higher risk of pregnancy hypertension and preeclampsia; long-term snoring increases the risk of glaucoma and asthma, and even stimulates the occurrence of malignant tumors.
In the face of snoring, how to treat it regularly
1. Control weight and actively lose weight
Obesity and sleep-disordered breathing are mutually causal vicious circles, and obese people with sleep-disordered breathing disorders are much higher than ordinary people.
Therefore, it is necessary to actively lose weight, ensure more than 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, and control the BMI within the normal range in combination with the dietary style.
2. Wear a ventilator reasonably
Noninvasive positive airway pressure ventilation is preferred in adults with sleep apnea syndrome.
Put the medical nasal mask on the nose, and introduce the gas from the ventilator into the nasal mask through the pipe, so that the upper respiratory tract maintains the appropriate gas pressure, keeps the upper respiratory tract open and unobstructed, ensures normal breathing during sleep, and avoids interfering with sleep quality due to apnea.
3. Surgery for treatment
If sleep apnea is caused by a disease of the throat or nose, the pharyngeal cavity and nasal cavity should be enlarged, such as surgical removal of nasal polyps, removal of tonsils, correction of the nasal septum, etc.
In addition, if you have slept for a long time, you still feel tired after waking up in the morning, accompanied by headache, dizziness, dry mouth, lack of concentration, and memory loss; if you always open your mouth to breathe after waking up, stop breathing for more than 10 seconds, you should go to the hospital in time for examination.
