Habitual snoring should be taken seriously!

Sleep apnea has gradually become one of the social problems in recent years. When snoring occurs, oxygen intake decreases further.When snoring symptoms worsen, it can lead to breathing arrest during sleep.

But what changes actually occur in a person's body when they snore?

Simply put,Snoring is a state that occurs when the airway narrows.When the airway narrows during breathing, the air rubs against the tissues in the upper respiratory tract, causing snoring. Therefore, if you find yourself snoring, you should pay attention to it!

Most people who snore suffer from rhinitis, nasal polyps, etc.Nasal diseases,alsoobesityThe rate of snoring is much higher among people of normal weight. When we enter a sleep state, the tension of the oropharyngeal muscles weakens. Nasal diseases and obesity can cause narrowing of the airway due to compression of the nasal cavity or fatty tissue.If the tension of the oropharyngeal muscles is insufficient to support airway expansion, one or more obstruction points may occur.Severe obstruction can cause breathing to stop, preventing air from entering the lungs through the airways; this condition is called respiratory arrest.

If breathing stops, the body will unconsciously wake the person in order to force the lungs to breathe. This is how people escape life-threatening situations.However, over time, the inability to get a good night's sleep can lead to a significant accumulation of fatigue!

The more frequent the breathing apnea, the greater the accumulated fatigue and the higher the risk of various lifestyle-related diseases. For example, people with sleep apnea have a 72% chance of developing hypertension. If sleep apnea is suspected, further "multilevel sleep gait (PSG)" is needed for a definitive diagnosis.
