Annoying snoring The snoring sound from the throat of snorers can be greater than 60dB, and even more than 90dB, just like the engine roar. The snoring sound is irregular, high and low, strong and weak, which is very annoying to the smellers. The partner who can sleep peacefully in such an environment is really admirable. One is to admire their ability to resist interference, and the other is to admire their dedication. I often think that snorers may disturb their partners’ sleep when they are sleeping soundly, shouldn’t they thank their partners for their unfailing commitment? The horrible breath-holding is actually apnea or hypoventilation, which is brief for a few seconds and long for several minutes. Patients may have no conscious symptoms, but may also wake up, and after waking up, they have palpitations and are afraid to sleep, and a few may die suddenly. Frequent breath-holding at night can cause varying degrees of decline in arterial oxygen saturation, and long-term hypoxemia may lead to hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, diabetes II and other systemic diseases. The danger is so great but happens in the night and night sleep, can it not be horrible? The diagnosis is based on symptoms and signs, and most of the preliminary diagnosis can be made. If you want to confirm the diagnosis and understand the extent of the disease, polysomnography is required. Treatment countermeasures for snoring have two main treatment goals, one is to eliminate or reduce snoring; the other is to eliminate or relieve breath-holding. There are many treatment methods, such as weight loss, lateral sleep, wearing an oral appliance, positive pressure ventilation through the nasal airway, surgery and so on. Weight loss has miraculous effect on the treatment of snoring, but weight loss is mostly our good wish. There are variations in the sleeping position of people throughout the night, and it is also a good wish to sleep completely on the side. Wearing an oral appliance or positive pressure ventilation through the nasal airway changes the normal sleeping habits, and nine out of ten people refuse. Surgery is mostly considered by patients, but the indications for surgery need to be strictly selected, and under this premise, some patients can benefit for life.
