Snoring may be simple snoring, this disease is only the phenomenon of soft palate vibration sound, does not cause other diseases. Snoring may also be obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome, which can cause heart disease, reflux esophagitis, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents and other diseases.
1. Heart disease, reflux esophagitis: increased pressure in the chest cavity caused by obstruction can lead to increased load on the right heart and reflux esophagitis.
2. Hypertension: Due to repeated apnea at night, the oxygen saturation of blood decreases, which triggers the disorder of regulation of “nerve-liquid” system, resulting in the increase of blood pressure, the increase of blood viscosity, the decrease of renal function, and the disorder of glucose metabolism, which leads to the occurrence of hypertensive disease.
3. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents: long-term hypoxia can also lead to cardiac arrhythmia, elevated erythropoietin, elevated red blood cells, elevated platelet activity, decreased fibrinolytic activity, thus inducing coronary heart disease and cerebral thrombosis.
When persistent snoring, need to actively seek medical attention, after a clear diagnosis, timely and standardized diagnosis and treatment.
