Why do people snore? How can you sleep without snoring? Treatment of snoring

The airway of snorers is usually narrower than that of normal people. The compensatory contraction of throat muscles during the daytime keeps the airway open without blockage. But when sleeping at night, the nerve excitability decreases, the muscle relaxes, the pharyngeal tissue is blocked, and the upper airway collapses. When the airflow passes through the narrow part, it produces vortex and causes vibration, resulting in snoring. When it is serious, the breathing can be temporarily stopped, thus affecting people's health. In a word, it is caused by narrow airway.

So, why does the airway narrow?

1. Obesity: Obese neck deposition of too much fat, is one of the causes of respiratory tract stenosis and snoring.

2. Sleeping posture: some people have no abnormal airway during the day. When they sleep, the muscle tension around the airway is reduced, and the tongue falls back when they sleep in the supine position, which can also cause airway stenosis and affect the smooth passage of air flow.

3. Age: male after 35 years old, the incidence of snoring after menopause in women increased, which is closely related to obesity, muscle dysfunction and other factors. Although children and adolescents snore, the rate is low.

4. Diseases: in addition to the above reasons, some are caused by their own diseases, such as: 1. Nasal causes: deviation of nasal septum, nasal polyps, hypertrophy of turbinate, hyperemia and hypertrophy of nasal mucosa, chronic rhinitis, etc.; 2. Pharyngeal causes: enlargement and hypertrophy of tonsil and adenoid, hypertrophy of uvula, hypertrophy and depression of soft palate, hypertrophy of tongue body; ③ Congenital anatomical deformities: mandibular developmental deformities (such as micrognathia), mandibular retrusion, etc.

5. Heredity: snoring is also related to heredity. We often see patients with familial snoring in our life.

6. Unhealthy living habits: drinking and taking sleeping pills such as diazepam can also inhibit breathing, aggravate snoring, and even induce sleep apnea. In addition, smoking can also cause upper respiratory tract inflammation and edema, and smoking cessation can reduce the risk of snoring.
