On September 6, according to Hangzhou Daily , yesterday, a young father in his early 30s went to Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for follow-up after surgery.
It is understood that Mr. Jiang is 1.8 meters tall, and his weight soared to 200 pounds after three years of marriage, with a loud snoring. His wife was often afraid that he would lose his breath due to snoring and snoring. He never dared to sleep deeply. He suffered from neurasthenia, and his hearing decreased significantly. His 1-year-old son often cried in the middle of the night because of his father's snoring.
After testing, Mr. Jiang's apnea-hypopnea index was as high as 30 times/hour, and the longest pause time was 65 seconds, which belonged to severe sleep apnea syndrome. Dr.
removed Mr. Jiang's hypertrophic tonsils and performed modified velopharyngoplasty, and asked him to change his unhealthy lifestyle to lose weight.
received timely treatment, Mr. Jiang is undoubtedly lucky, but the incident of sudden death from snoring is not an exception.
According to Jiangsu Public News, in 2019, a man under the age of 30 died of apnea caused by snoring while sleeping.
According to Shangguan News, in 2015, a woman in her 40s with snoring had to stay in a hotel for one night because there was no sleep monitoring bed in the hospital, and she died of severe sleep apnea.
Snoring is also known as "snoring" in medicine. It can be divided into benign (80%) and malignant (20%), and can occur in men, women and children of all ages.
"benign snoring": snoring is uniform and varies with sleep position.
"Malignant snoring": not only snores loudly, but also stops breathing when he snores. After ten or even tens of seconds, he makes a loud snoring sound and starts again.
When the upper airway is blocked during sleep, will stop breathing for a short time (≥10 seconds), which is called apnea.
Although most patients with sleep apnea will be repeatedly awakened, they do not know the regularity of their snoring, nor why they always wake up, so it is generally difficult to detect whether they have apnea. Doctor
suggested that the following five points can help you make a preliminary judgment:
1. Do you often feel dizzy and tired during the day, and want to sleep at any time;
2. Has your partner noticed that you snored loudly and held your breath while you were sleeping - the snoring stopped suddenly, and it took a while before you heard a "pop"?
3. Do you have disturbed sleep rhythm, especially frequent awakenings? Sometimes I even wake up suddenly because I can't breathe. When I wake up, I often feel chest tightness or difficulty breathing?
4. Do you have hypertension or are you on treatment for hypertension?
5. Do you have a BMI value (BMI=weight kg/height square m²)>24, or neck circumference>40cm?
If three of the above answers are "yes", then the risk of developing sleep apnea syndrome is very high, you need to go to a regular hospital for sleep breathing monitoring as soon as possible, and follow the doctor's advice.
