Snoring during sleep not only affects others with noise, but also directly affects your sleep quality, interferes with your breathing during sleep, and can cause serious diseases during sleep. If there are more than 5 brief pauses in breathing (less than 10 seconds) in one night, it is a dangerous signal. Poor breathing during sleep, in mild cases, affects the quality of sleep in the long term, often feeling that you have been asleep for a long time, but in fact only for a few minutes, during which the brain can not fully rest. The pause in breathing index exceeds the dangerous level, if combined with age, heart problems or other sudden symptoms, there is the possibility of inducing heart and brain disease or even suffocation during sleep. . The reason for snoring, in general, is that after a person falls asleep steadily, especially in deep sleep, the whole body muscles relax, the airway is obstructed or not smooth, the body makes its own adjustment, and snores by “compulsory means” to breathe. For example, the drooping of the uvula (i.e. the small tongue in the mouth, also known as the uvula, the small meat in the middle of the throat), the back of the tongue root, obstruction of the airway, old age and obesity are all causes of snoring in sleep, about 20% of men from 30 to 35 years old and only 5% of women. By the age of 60, the number of men snoring can increase to 60%, while the number of women increases from 5% to 40%. In obese people, the neck is bloated and the upper airway is narrowed due to pressure, which can easily lead to snoring due to difficulty in breathing. Drunkenness, taking sedatives, and more relaxed muscles after sleep can also cause snoring. If the lower jaw is narrower, it is also easy to snore. Snoring can be hereditary in families (most of them have abnormal anatomical structure of the upper respiratory tract, for example, the tongue and the root of the back of the tongue are particularly large), and it is theoretically difficult to cure snoring with medicine alone. Try to keep the head and airway as straight as possible. It should not be too high, so as not to affect the cervical spine strain; 2. Keep sleeping on the side and avoid sleeping on the back, because when sleeping on the back, the soft palate at the back of the mouth will sink with gravity, the tongue root will fall back and obstruct the upper airway; 3. There are some drug drops, although they are not very useful for snorers with physiological factors, but they have some ability to improve episodic snoring; there are also some nasal diseases that need to be treated by surgery, and the above can be treated with the help of a quintuple surgeon. 4.Don’t get into the habit of breathing through the mouth during sleep. 5. Don’t overexert yourself, don’t get drunk, and don’t take sedatives or sleeping pills. Since long ago, human beings have known that snoring can be improved appropriately according to the physical structure of the upper airway. In medieval times, Westerners used snoring balls (Snore Ball). That is, when sleeping, a hard ball is tied behind the back, and as soon as one lies on one’s back, one becomes uncomfortable and switches to sleeping on one’s side. But this method may reduce snoring, but at the expense of sleep, if snoring is due to the upper airway is born narrow serious, is side sleep will not improve. There is another kind of apparatus called “Chin Strap” (Chin Strap), which the ancients thought would bring peace to the world by tightening the jaw. But the effect is not good, because the cause of snoring is multifaceted, so in some users instead because of poor breathing and struggle to wake up. So far in the world, the treatment of snoring is focused on the cause of the problem, and there are various ways to treat it, so that neurologists and pentatomists can work together to choose different treatments according to the patient’s specific problems. Since snoring is caused by narrowing of the upper airway, the most direct way to change the space of the upper airway to a wider one is perhaps surgery. The most straightforward way is perhaps surgery. Starting with a sleep analysis, which can be done by removing the tonsils, or thermally removing the uvula, or thermally removing the soft palate at the back of the tongue, sometimes taking a lot of time to observe the treatment, the narrowing of the upper airway may not be improved by minor surgery. People are constantly searching for simple and less invasive treatments such as the recent laser thermotomy technique, which is simple and easy to perform, using a laser surgical gun to “burn off” the soft tissue behind the nasal cavity, the soft palate above the back of the mouth, and the end of the tongue at the back of the mouth, one by one, then allowing for a larger space in the upper airway. Thermal resection procedures, each of which takes less than an hour, are of course not done all at once, but can be performed one at a time. There is also a jaw (chin) pulling forward procedure, which pulls the entire jaw outward a few centimeters, then adds a more generous space in the back of the mouth for a smooth and unobstructed airway. This surgery is a “one-time” “big project” surgery, and more than 95% of people will stop snoring, but be prepared, because after the surgery, snoring is cured, but the post-operative appearance may have a little deformation effect. Contemporary high technology has introduced a small home respirator commonly known as “Nasal Mask”, which is safe and reliable and avoids the pain caused by surgery, especially for elderly patients. In addition to a pair of gas masks on the user’s face, a small, electric, low-noise, automatically controlled ventilator is placed next to the bed. Between the two, there is also a thick soft breathing tube connected. Many snoring patients have improved their physical discomfort and their sleep has improved significantly after using it. Our hospital has carried out sleep analysis and snoring treatment, and can provide diagnosis and treatment for various sleep-related problems, such as sleep disorders, sleep breathing problems, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular related problems, epilepsy, etc. Our working team is composed of technical specialists in neurology, respiratory medicine, and quinturology, which jointly provide services to patients.
