1, “snoring” need to be treated? Modern medical research has confirmed that serious snoring can cause great damage to health. Severe whistling will cause a temporary stop or reduction in airflow during sleep at night, resulting in a reduction in oxygen content in the blood, causing hypoxia and damage to tissue cells throughout the body, to induce or aggravate hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and many other chronic diseases, serious cases can cause sudden death at night. According to statistics, the risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, etc. increases 1.2 to 8.0 times more than normal for people who snore severely. In addition, snoring causes repeated whistling at night to temporarily stop will interfere with the normal sleep structure, and many of the body’s physiological processes and the secretion of certain hormones is completed in a specific period of sleep, sleep structure changes will cause these physiological processes and hormone secretion disorders, resulting in daytime sleepiness, memory loss, metabolic disorders, delayed growth and development of children and a series of other problems. According to statistics, the number of deaths related to snoring is about 3,000 people per day worldwide. Therefore, the active treatment of “snoring” to effectively maintain health and prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. 2.What kind of “whistling” needs to be treated? Usually people are used to classify snoring intuitively as “benign snoring” and “malignant snoring”. The so-called benign whistling is due to improper sleep posture or cold and nasal congestion caused by a short period of snoring phenomenon, this whistling will be in improper sleep posture or cold and nasal congestion and other external causes after the natural disappearance, usually does not cause significant impact on the human body, so do not need to go to the hospital. The “malignant snoring” refers to the existence of no clear external causes, perennial habitual snoring phenomenon. This is divided into two situations, one is simply habitual year-round snoring without clear whistle temporary stop or airflow reduction phenomenon, the second is in addition to snoring also accompanied by repeated sleep process whistle temporary stop or airflow reduction phenomenon, medical called sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome. For people who simply habitually snore, although the sleep process does not have the phenomenon of whistle stop, but also need to pay attention to, because this habitual snoring if not take timely and effective intervention will gradually aggravate the development of sleep whistle pause hypoventilation syndrome. When this habitual snoring people appear poor energy during the day, drowsiness, dry mouth in the morning, dizziness, sleep after not relieved and other symptoms should be promptly to the professional regular medical institutions to consult. For patients with sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome, timely diagnosis and treatment to professional and regular medical institutions is a must, because a little snoring is seriously endangering your health. 3, snoring should be how to treat There are many treatment methods for snoring, for different patients should choose different personalized treatment according to their different causes and characteristics, so as to get twice the result with half the effort. For patients with narrowed airways as the main cause of whistling, surgery to effectively expand the airway can prevent the collapse of the airway during sleep to close, so that the temporary cessation of whistling during sleep or the phenomenon of reduced airflow disappears, which can achieve the purpose of treatment. Surgery does not improve the dysfunction of patients with inspiratory pauses caused by dysfunction of the airway dilator muscles during sleep, so continuous positive pressure ventilation (commonly known as whistler therapy) is the most effective treatment for these patients. For patients with “small jaws,” the treatment can be achieved by wearing an oral appliance to enlarge the whistling tract. In conclusion, although snoring is a common phenomenon, but is a very complex pathological process, so be sure to go to the regular professional medical institutions for personalized consultation and treatment, so as not to affect the effectiveness of treatment, causing unnecessary losses.
