How to cure snoring when sleeping

Generally, if you are too tired during the day, you tend to snore at night and sleep deeply. This type of snoring is not frequent, so there is no need to worry too much. However, some snoring is caused by respiratory diseases. Such patients are listless during the day and snore loudly at night, affecting other people's rest and not improving their own sleep. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Snoring is medically known as snoring, which is a major clinical manifestation of sleep apnea syndrome. It can not only cause snorers to feel sleepy and tired during the day, but may also be related to the occurrence of certain respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular accident.

Experts say that if you snore at night and have the following symptoms, it is a dangerous signal sent by the body and you need to go to the hospital immediately: snoring during sleep, mouth breathing, frequent respiratory arrest; repeated waking up from sleep, restless sleep, and epilepsy; inability to relieve fatigue during sleep, daytime sleepiness, and hypersomnia; high blood pressure after waking up; shallow sleep, headache after waking up; angina pectoris and heart rhythm disorders during sleep at night; enuresis and increased nocturia during sleep; memory loss, slow reaction, and reduced work and study ability; feeling half asleep during the day, and having difficulty falling asleep while working, in meetings, and eating; impotence and loss of libido; and Alzheimer's disease.

In addition to going to the hospital for treatment, the following measures can be taken in daily life to reduce snoring symptoms: sleep on your side, change from the usual supine sleeping position; try not to drink alcohol before going to bed, do not drink strong tea or coffee, and do not take certain medications, because alcohol, sedatives, sleeping pills and anti-allergic drugs will make breathing shallow and slow, and make the muscles more relaxed than usual, making it easier for the soft tissue of the pharynx to block the airway; develop a habit of regular exercise, lose weight, and enhance lung function.

Experts also remind that snorers who have the habit of smoking should quit smoking immediately. Because only by keeping the nasopharynx unobstructed can snoring be reduced, and the irritation of the nasal mucosa caused by smoking will only make the already blocked nasal cavity and respiratory tract worse. In addition, snorers should prevent colds and treat nasal congestion diseases in a timely manner.
