Apnea syndrome is clinically known as sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome and does not usually lead to suffocation.
Sleep apnea syndrome is defined as the weakening or loss of airflow from the mouth and nose for a period of time greater than or equal to 10 seconds during sleep. It is mainly categorized into central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea.
Central sleep apnea syndrome is mainly due to the increased instability of the respiratory center regulation, often manifested as repeated pauses in breathing during sleep.
Obstructive apnea syndrome is a common clinical sleep apnea disease, commonly found in obese patients or patients with narrow nasopharyngeal tract, often manifested as sleep snoring, drowsiness, etc., and can cause other organ damage in severe cases.
Generally apnea syndrome does not lead to death, when suffering from apnea syndrome, when physical discomfort occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
