Obese people sleep dyspnea, may be obesity – poor ventilation syndrome, lung disease, heart disease and other causes.
1. Obesity – poor ventilation syndrome: due to obesity of the abdomen and chest wall fat, so that the lung expansion is limited, causing dyspnea, in addition, obese people with a short neck, fat accumulation leads to narrow pharyngeal cavity, upper airway obstruction during sleep can also cause dyspnea.
2. Lung disease: obesity, if combined with tuberculosis, pulmonary atelectasis, interstitial lung disease, bronchial asthma, sleep apnea syndrome, tongue drop, etc., will cause nighttime dyspnea, so you need to timely perform relevant lung examinations, such as chest CT to clarify the cause of the disease.
3. Heart disease: obesity if combined with heart failure, cardiac tamponade, primary pulmonary hypertension, etc., will cause dyspnea.
