Snoring, or snoring, can be the main symptom of simple snoring or obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome. This kind of disease is often triggered by high age, obesity, deviated nasal septum, hypertrophy of soft palate and other causative factors, so it is necessary to choose the causative treatment, general treatment, ventilator treatment and surgical treatment according to the different causes and characteristics of the disease to control the disease and alleviate the symptoms.
1. Etiologic treatment: systematic treatment should be made for the underlying diseases that cause and aggravate snoring. Such as chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, adenoid hypertrophy, tonsillar hypertrophy and other local diseases that lead to airway narrowing; abnormal upper airway dilator muscle tone; abnormal regulation of respiratory center; hypothyroidism, diabetes and other systemic diseases.
2. General treatment: for obese people, moderate exercise and diet control; quit smoking and alcohol, avoid taking lorazepam and other sedative drugs; take the side position to sleep or can reduce airway collapse.
3. Ventilator treatment: non-invasive positive pressure ventilation is the first choice, and long-term rational use can significantly improve the symptoms of snoring and reduce the occurrence of related complications.
4. Surgery: according to the obstruction of upper airway, nasal expansion surgery, palatopharyngoplasty, chin and tongue muscle advancement surgery and mandibular advancement surgery can be chosen to treat the obstruction of upper airway.
If you find yourself snoring, you can actively consult a doctor for a systematic examination, clear diagnosis and etiology, and then follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
