Specific explanation of the causes and treatment of snoring

If a person snores while sleeping, it means that there are some minor problems with the body. It could be a central problem or an obstructive problem. Only by finding the exact cause can targeted treatment be carried out. For your own health, you must make a timely diagnosis.

In medical theory, snoring is caused by the following three reasons:

1. Caused by central nervous system diseases

2. Obstructive diseases

3. Mixed diseases

Generally speaking, adults are most likely to suffer from mixed symptoms, while children are most likely to suffer from obstructive problems.

The best ways to prevent and treat snoring:

1. Strengthen physical exercise and maintain good living habits.

2. Avoid smoking and drinking, because smoking can cause respiratory symptoms to worsen, and drinking can aggravate snoring, nocturnal breathing disorders and hypoxemia. Especially drinking before bed.

3. For obese people, they should actively lose weight and increase exercise. Our experience is to lose more than 5%-10% of body weight.

4. Snoring patients often have decreased blood oxygen levels, so they are often accompanied by high blood pressure, heart rhythm disorders, increased blood viscosity, increased heart burden, and easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to blood pressure monitoring and take antihypertensive drugs on time.

5. Do not take sedatives or sleeping pills before going to bed to avoid aggravating the inhibition of respiratory center regulation.

6. Sleep in a side-lying position, especially on the right side, to avoid the tongue, soft palate, and uvula from relaxing and falling back during sleep, which will aggravate upper airway obstruction. You can put a small ball on your back when sleeping to help force yourself to sleep in a side-lying position.
