Men sleep snoring and drooling may be related to obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome, which is often caused by obesity, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, soft palate hypertrophy and overwork. Etiologic treatment, general treatment, ventilator treatment and surgical treatment should be chosen according to the etiology and characteristics of the disease.
1. Etiologic treatment: Active and systematic treatment of underlying diseases that may cause or aggravate the disease, such as myasthenia gravis and endocrine dysfunction.
2. General treatment: quit smoking and drinking, take a light diet, avoid overwork and staying up all night. Appropriate exercise, reasonable dietary control, and correction of weight abnormality. Avoid the use of diazepam and other sedative drugs, and try to sleep in side position.
3. Ventilator treatment: non-invasive positive pressure ventilation can significantly improve the symptoms of snoring and drooling during sleep, ensure the upper airway is open, and long-term effective use of ventilator treatment can significantly improve the complications of this disease.
4. Surgical treatment: according to the symptoms caused by different obstruction planes, surgical treatments such as nasal expansion surgery, uvula palatopharyngoplasty, chin and tongue muscle anterior displacement surgery and mandibular anterior displacement surgery can be chosen.
When you observe a man snoring and drooling in his sleep, you need to actively seek medical attention, systematic examination, clear diagnosis and etiology, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
