The relationship between snoring and stroke There is an obvious connection between snoring and myocardial infarction, stroke and other diseases Gao Changqin of the emergency department of Penglai City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine It is understood that there is an obvious connection between snoring and myocardial infarction, stroke and other diseases.
It is reported that after a follow-up survey of 1200 patients, it was found that compared with normal people, the risk of stroke is 67% higher in those with severe snoring and the possibility of myocardial infarction is 34% higher. If snoring is severe and accompanied by apnea, it is very likely to suffer from both diseases. This further confirms the theory that snoring is associated with cardiovascular disease, and shows that people who snore less are at less risk of cardiovascular disease; the problem of snoring in men begins to diminish after the age of 70. Snoring is a common phenomenon among humans. It is estimated that 40% of adult males and 24% of adult females snore during sleep, and snoring is more common among overweight people. Snoring may lead to stroke Stroke damages brain tissue, and scientists warn that too much sleep and snoring may increase the risk of stroke. Those who sleep more than eight hours a night are known to have a 9 percent higher risk of stroke than those who sleep less; those who sleep during the day have a 10 percent higher chance of suffering a stroke than others. Experts say that those who find it difficult to stay awake should seek medical attention. “We found that certain sleep characteristics, such as sleeping more than eight hours, having a penchant for sleeping during the day and snoring, were associated with the chance of having a stroke. Sleep apnea syndrome is a repetitive brief cessation of breathing while a person sleeps, it causes snoring and frequent awakenings because the sleeper can’t breathe, which can lead to grogginess during the day, and sleep apnea is associated with heart and stroke.” One of the culprits of snoring stroke Stroke is a common cardiovascular disease that occurs mostly in the early morning, when one wakes up in the morning, the mouth and eyes are distorted and limb movement is not convenient, which seriously affects the quality of life. The occurrence of stroke is related to factors such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and thick blood, and people who snore are more likely to suffer from stroke. Why are snorers more likely to have a stroke? First of all, snoring during sleep makes the blood pressure in the body high and low, and the high and low blood pressure makes the blood vessels more likely to break the bank, and brain hemorrhage occurs. Secondly, the vibration of the blood vessels caused by snoring can make the small thrombus in the inner wall of the blood vessels fall off, and block the cerebral vessels. And when you snore and hold your breath, the intracranial pressure increases and the blood supply in the cranium decreases, all these reasons make people who snore more likely to suffer a stroke.
