Snoring is especially bad after cervical spine surgery

After the cervical spine surgery snoring is particularly serious, generally not very close relationship with the cervical spine surgery, may be related to obesity, soft palate hypertrophy, tongue root fall back and other reasons.
1. Obesity: the neck or pharyngeal wall tissues are thickened and bloated, squeezing the pharyngeal cavity and causing the airflow to directly impact the soft palate, resulting in snoring sounds.
2. Hypertrophy of the soft palate: If the soft palate is wide and hypertrophied, snoring is a particularly serious symptom due to the vibration of the airflow through the pharyngeal cavity.
3. Tongue root falling back: when the tongue root muscle is flaccid and falls back, and is close to the back wall of the pharynx, the airflow can be directed to the soft palate, causing the soft palate to vibrate, and snoring is particularly serious.
When snoring is particularly serious after cervical spine surgery, you can actively seek medical treatment, systematic examination, clear cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
