I have many patients and friends asking me in the clinic if sleep apnea can be cured. Can it be cured with whistling? I would like to answer this question for you today. Usually the most common sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), regardless of the severity of the condition, the site of the obstruction is basically in the upper whistle of the pharynx this section of the channel surrounded by soft tissue (see below), snoring is also caused by the vibration of the soft palate in this area. There are many causes of OSA, besides the local narrowing of the soft tissues of the upper whistle tract or the presence of new organisms, age, obesity, appearance (development of the maxillofacial skeleton, such as a small jaw at birth), some diseases (such as hypothyroidism), and many other factors may act together to cause whistling and pauses in breathing. Therefore, it is difficult to address all the factors regardless of the treatment taken. Therefore, sleep apnea, like all chronic diseases, is theoretically incurable, except for those caused by specific diseases. Even if some people temporarily improve with treatment, they may relapse with the increase in age and weight of the diagnosis. However, it does not matter, formal treatment can keep symptoms well under control and has some protection for the heart, brain and vital internal organs. Sleeping with a whistler is one of the most effective of the many treatments for moderate to severe OSA. It is based on the principle of continuous positive airway pressure through a nasal mask or facemask, which holds the upper whistle tract in place, eliminates soft palate vibration and prevents upper airway collapse (see below), ideally eliminating snoring and pauses in inspiration, and thus eliminating nighttime hypoxia. However, this is also an allopathic treatment, and just as patients with hypertension and diabetes need to take their medication regularly every day, patients with OSA need to sleep with a whistler every day, and the longer they sleep with it each night, the better the protection for their body. An average of 4 hours or more per night is usually required. In addition, almost every patient asks: Will I be dependent on the whistler? I don’t want to be unable to breathe one day without it! In fact, OSA patients are not unable to breathe, their pauses in inspiration are only due to the blockage of the upper whistle, the treatment of OSA whistle machine is to rely on a stream of air to provide a pressure to support the upper whistle, so that it does not collapse or blockage, the whistle itself still depends on the patient to complete, and does not depend on the machine, so there is no whistle machine dependence. The whistle machine allows patients with moderate to severe OSA to sleep with “peace of mind” and is a “household appliance” for everyday life. Let’s all work together to make life with a whistler easier!
