What are the dangers of snoring

  Snoring seems to be a normal phenomenon in sleep, but in fact, it may hide hidden health problems. If snoring is accompanied by apnea, hypoxemia can occur and the heart and brain can be deprived of oxygen, which can cause a series of pathological changes. Pathological snoring is referred to as “snoring”. Snoring is one of the main diseases that seriously affect the quality of sleep.  Snoring is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, and the lack of oxygen caused by airway obstruction often induces cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Snoring can often be complicated by hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke, and even induce heart attack. Therefore, the treatment of snoring has important clinical significance for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In the adolescent population, snoring should not be taken lightly. Snoring patients snore, hold their breath and have apnea at night, which leads to lack of oxygen to the brain and drowsiness, memory loss, difficulty in concentration and low work efficiency during the day. Most of the snoring in children is caused by rhinitis, adenoid hypertrophy and tonsillar hypertrophy. Snoring children often cause health problems such as growth retardation, abnormal facial development (proliferative facial features) and irregular teeth due to impaired nasal ventilation, long-term open-mouth breathing and chronic hypoxia. People engaged in high-speed carrier operations, such as car drivers and aerial workers, should pay more attention to the prevention and treatment of snoring to prevent accidents.
