People who snore when sleeping, beware of 8 major hazards! Huaxi experts: Don't believe in drug treatment, what really works is...

Many people have had this experience.

Sleeping with a snorer

Not being woken up by snoring in the middle of sleep

I don't even get a chance to sleep.

I'm just feeling sleepy here.

There's a humming sound over there~~~ It's shaking the sky

Not to mention the breakdown and irritability

The first question that popped up in my mind:

It's strange

People who snore cannot hear themselves.

Although the person being disturbed is angry

There is even a hint of strange sigh:

Really? Dr. Li Peijun from the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at West China Hospital of Sichuan University said: You really think too much! Snoring is not only bad for your health! It will also make you ugly and stupid!

" So what harm does snoring do to the body?

Why does snoring make you ugly?

How can you check whether your snoring symptoms are serious?

Is there any way to improve it?

" Snoring is not a good sleep.

On the contrary, there are many harms

As for snoring, many people actually have it. Generally, it is just a little snore when you are tired, which is normal.

But many "Lei Zhenzi" snore habitually, no matter whether they go to bed early or late, whether they are tired or not, they snore loudly...

How does the snoring sound come about?

Simply put, snoring is caused by obstructed respiratory tract .

The disease caused by snoring is medically known as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

People around you who snore must have heard this: the kind of snoring that suddenly stops and the sound goes up and down and can't be stopped in one breath, which makes people feel very nervous!

Clinically speaking, repeated apnea during sleep can cause blood hypoxia and affect the functions of multiple important organs in the body, as follows↓

The following four aspects require special attention:

1

Increased risk of cardiovascular disease

Hypoxia can easily induce sympathetic nerve excitement, activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, accelerate breathing and heartbeat, thereby leading to increased blood pressure, increased myocardial oxygen consumption, and arrhythmia. It is also one of the important risk factors for diseases such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.

2

Increased risk of cerebrovascular disease

Due to lack of oxygen, the brain of a snoring person awakens frequently at night, causing sleep structure disorders, leading to abnormal secretion levels of brain-related hormones (such as appetite-stimulating hormone and leptin), accelerating the process of atherosclerosis, and ultimately increasing the risk of coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular accidents.

3

Increased risk of diabetes

Or because of hypoxia, it may cause impaired pancreatic beta cell function and insulin resistance, which increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.

4

Disrupting normal sleep structure

To put it bluntly, it makes people feel like they are having a "fake sleep"!

Snoring not only disturbs the sleep quality of people around you, but also disturbs your own normal sleep structure, such as↓

If you are woken up by the noise of others in your sleep, and have constant micro-awakenings all night long, the proportion of deep sleep will be greatly reduced or even absent in the long run, causing you to frequently take naps during the day and lack concentration, which can easily lead to reduced work efficiency and even cause traffic accidents and other hazards.

You will understand by now that snoring is not a sign of a good sleep, but a manifestation of disease. Snoring may cause hypoxia of multiple important organs and damage your health.

Snoring makes you ugly.

Check yourself early and save it early

In addition to the harm done, the most undesirable consequence for people who snore is becoming ugly.

This group of people who can "call out" at any time and anywhere will not only make unpleasant sounds, but may also have an "adenoid face".

This is what we usually call buck teeth, protruding mouth, and overbite.

Especially for children, the upper airway is narrowed during sleep, making it impossible for them to breathe normally. They can only breathe with their mouths open. The airflow impacting the hard palate will cause the hard palate to deform and arch high. Over time, it will cause facial development to become deformed.

The main manifestations are short, thick and upturned upper lip, sagging mandible, disappearance of nasolabial groove, high arched hard palate, irregular teeth, protruding upper incisors, poor bite, flat nasal septum, difficult movement of facial muscles, lack of expression, etc.

She was born beautiful, but her face was ruined because of snoring, what a loss!

In order to avoid such consequences, you can use these methods to check the severity of your snoring↓

01

The following conditions indicate snoring

You can hear snoring during light sleep; your bed partner tells you (believe it); you wake up frequently at night, feel sleepy during the day, have a dry mouth after waking up, or feel unrefreshed after sleeping.

Tips:

You can use some recorders placed next to the bed for monitoring, or use a sleep app on your watch/phone.

02

The following characteristics indicate severe snoring

Daytime sleepiness, waking up from sleepiness at night, and the bed partner reported respiratory airflow interruption and hypertension.

So if you already know that you snore, you must pay attention to it! **Especially if you snore and hold your breath! **Check it early and treat it early!

If the severity cannot be determined or assessed, you can go to the hospital for a professional evaluation, complete polysomnography, or complete a portable sleep monitor at home.

Can snoring be improved?

What methods are effective?

People who snore are often quite obedient. Just a slight kick and they will immediately realize they are wrong and the snoring will stop.

What a pity! It can't last more than three seconds! The snoring starts again even louder! Is there any better way to improve snoring?

Of course! There are 4 ways to treat snoring↓

From the above introduction, it can be seen that for the treatment of snoring, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation is the first choice, followed by auxiliary behavioral therapy and oral appliance treatment. If none of them works, surgical intervention should be considered.

One thing I need to remind you is that there is no effective drug treatment yet . Don’t buy those drugs that claim to cure snoring~~
