Hello! I work as a doctor for 21 years. My name is George O. Sapego. This article will talk about how you take for a ride horror stories about snoring.
Everyone has heard the snoring and know what it is. So vibrate the soft tissue in the upper airway during sleep. Snoring is more often on the breath, but may be on the exhale.
Habitual snoring happens in 40% of men and 30% of women aged 30 - 60 years. Sporadic snoring happens more often.
Snoring indicates that the air is more difficult to pass through the upper respiratory tract.
Sleep apnea
Snoring is often confused with obstructive sleep apnea. It's not the same thing. In obstructive apnea body does not get enough air in the blood will be less oxygen, and sleep is disrupted.
Obstructive sleep apnea happens in 15% of men and 5% of women.
A person with obstructive sleep apnea does not have to be snoring.
If a person with snoring will gain weight, it can turn into a snoring sleep apnea during sleep.
People with snoring is often high blood pressure, heart disease and problems with brain vessels. But when all this is, they usually do not distinguish between simple snoring and sleep apnea. It is clear that the problem of sleep apnea. Sam snoring - it's just rattling respiratory tract and may well be harmless.
It was a study that linked the occurrence of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid artery with snoring. In the sense that vibration during snoring is bad for the artery wall. Scientists all scared, but repeated studies have shown that the most likely thing was sleep apnea. Because those people with plaques in the carotid arteries snoring is not measured, it is only given questionnaires. Maybe they had sleep apnea, and perhaps it was not. On this subject, will conduct additional research.
It is necessary first of all to ask the spouse and other household if there is suspicion of sleep apnea. They usually hear snoring, pauses in breathing and so on. It with what can not be confused, because the person is choking. Just do not breathe, and then frantically gasping.
In the afternoon a man is in a bad mood, fatigue, and can be a headache.
If you wake up from snoring or interfere home, then go to the otolaryngologist. He will look to see if some obstruction in the upper airway, and tell you what to do next.
Now the traditional lie
This nonsense today, post it. Parses it piece by piece:
Snoring are cancer. This may be the first symptom of cancer.
This bike has chewed a few years. Not. Snoring is not cancer. Just sleep apnea, which is accompanied by snoring, occurs in people with obesity. They also mentioned the risk of cancer. Some thieves are capitalizing on this bike and provoke people to treat snoring where it is not necessary. Still afraid, what happens in women, and that is very dangerous. If snoring was very dangerous, he would have suffered half the population. Because that's what so many people and snore.
Snoring affects the nerves and muscles in the throat.
On the contrary. Damaged nerves and muscles in the throat causing snoring. Someone has something confused ...
But there is evidence that snoring can provoke the development of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. Most likely this is due to sleep apnea. Final conclusions on this issue yet.
Snoring are heart disease.
Not. Heart diseases are not snoring, but from obstructive sleep apnea.
