Snoring in middle-aged and elderly women may be caused by poor sleeping posture, obesity, enlarged tonsils or nasal polyps. It can be improved by changing sleeping position, losing weight, taking medication or surgery. 1. Poor sleeping posture: If you lie flat on your back while sleeping, it will cause your tongue to squeeze the airway, thus making your breathing not smooth and you will snore. Side sleeping can be used instead of lying on the back. Snoring is more likely when lying on the back, and side sleeping helps to reduce snoring. 2. Age and gender factors and obesity: patients snore due to changes in hormone levels after ageing, redistribution of body fat, relaxation of pharyngeal muscles and ligaments, and bloating of mucous membranes, which can aggravate the narrowing of the pharyngeal cavity. Obese people need to reduce their weight and wear non-invasive ventilators to assist ventilation, in order to reduce the airway narrowing caused by pharyngeal obstruction and relieve the symptoms of snoring. 3. Tonsillar hypertrophy: Tonsillar hypertrophy due to inflammation, causing narrowing of the pharyngeal cavity, can also cause snoring. Use broad-spectrum or sensitive antibiotics such as roxithromycin and amoxicillin under doctor’s guidance to relieve the inflammatory reaction and thus improve snoring. 4. Nasal polyps: due to long-term nasal blockage will develop the habit of breathing with the mouth open, over time the pharyngeal mucosa edema to hyperplasia, snoring occurs when sleeping. Nasal polyp resection can be used to correct the abnormal structure of the nasal cavity and improve nasal ventilation. If the patient snoring symptoms are serious, should go to the hospital in a timely manner to diagnose and causative factors after standardized medication and diagnosis and treatment, not their own indiscriminate use of drugs in order to avoid aggravation of the condition.
