The boy died suddenly in his sleep. Snoring caused apnea. Be careful of these symptoms of snoring

snoring is not only noisy, but also has a great impact on the body!

Recently, a man less than 30 years old in Xiamen died of apnea caused by snoring!

Snoring is serious, big and small

Attention to 'sleep apnea syndrome'

The unfortunate deceased man snored while sleeping for a long time. At the time of the incident, he fell asleep as usual. To the surprise of his family, the young man never woke up again.

"Snoring is loud, and there is a pause in breathing. The sound is loud and small, and suddenly there is no sound. There may be a pause in breathing, which will cause hypoxia and, in serious cases, sudden death at night." Feng Xu, chief physician of Otolaryngology Head and neck surgery of Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University.

Doctors said that severe snoring may be suffering from 'sleep apnea syndrome', once identified, it is best to intervene as soon as possible. For example, prolonged sleep apnea syndrome will increase the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cerebrovascular diseases, and even sudden death at night.

'when sleeping, the soft palate will pull back after relaxation. When inhaling, it is a state of negative pressure, which will cause the pharyngeal cavity to become smaller, aggravate apnea and block the respiratory tract. In addition, diseases of the nasal cavity or hypertrophy of the tongue can cause obstruction of the respiratory tract. " Feng Xu introduced.

Snoring kills more than 100000 people worldwide every year

Several types of symptoms help you judge yourself

According to relevant statistics, every year, the total number of snoring deaths in the world exceeds 100000, while about 450 million people snore in China, of which about 52 million suffer from sleep apnea syndrome.

However, many people with this disease find it difficult to find the disease themselves.

Doctors suggest that if you feel dizzy, headache, poor memory, inattention and sleepiness, you should see a doctor. At the same time, patients with obesity and long-term drinking are more likely to snore. In addition, people with nasopharyngeal dysplasia also need special attention.

Feng Xu reminded that patients who snore heavily should do some sleep supervision tests to determine whether there is hypoxia and apnea at night.

I hope everyone can have a good sleep like a baby!

There is a 'snoring baby' at home. Don't panic and don't take it seriously

Entering the summer, the hospital ushered in the peak of children's treatment. Among them, otolaryngology has become the world of 'little snorers'.

Every day at the age of 4 is a child with hypertrophic adenoids. His snoring problem makes his parents very worried. In many people's imagination, snoring children should be small fat, but the reporter noted that many snoring children are not fat, but some thin. Every day is a thin child. He just did sleep breathing monitoring. His parents couldn't understand the various curves on the sleep monitoring report, but after ye Jingying's simple analysis, his parents were shocked every day: sleep apnea reached more than 400 times in one night! Let's simply calculate that children sleep 10 hours a night, more than 400 times on average, which is equivalent to more than 40 times of sleep apnea per hour, that is, apnea occurs once in more than a minute, 'children are holding their breath almost every minute.' Maybe it's because they can't sleep well. They are also thin and small compared with their peers every day. He leaned against his father and stood at the table, looking timidly at the doctor, wondering what he would face next.

"Now about 80% of children snore because of adenoid hypertrophy. Just have a small operation."

When I heard about the operation, everyday's parents immediately tangled up. " Is it okay not to have surgery? " Can we have another operation in winter? " Shall we observe for a while? " After a series of questions were thrown out, every day's parents changed their mind, 'doctor, what you said must be reasonable. Let's think again.' The couple decided to take him outside the clinic every day to discuss for a while before making a decision. Ye Jingying said she understood, "although this operation has a history of nearly a thousand years, it is a big thing to operate on a child after all." Ye Jingying can also understand that parents want to observe for a period of time, because some children's adenoid hypertrophy is secondary hypertrophy caused by some diseases such as colds. After the primary disease is cured, some children's adenoids can slowly return to their original size without surgery.

Bed wetting 'chicken breasts' may be complications

After the operation, little snorers often find that some other diseases are better. The 10-year-old boy had an operation during the winter vacation and came for review during the summer vacation. Mother was very happy to Tell ye Jingying that her son's original 'chicken breast' was obviously improved and 'it's going to disappear.' It turned out that when Tong Tong was sleeping, he was suffocating because of snoring. In order to absorb enough oxygen, he would breathe hard and turn his small chest back into a 'chicken chest'. After the surgical treatment, his breathing was smooth. After six months of recovery, Tong Tong had become a tall and straight teenager when he came to see ye Jingying this time.

What is more immediate is the 'bed wetting' problem caused by snoring. In the ward, a 3-and-a-half-year-old girl just finished adenoid surgery last Friday and didn't wet her bed that night. " I used to wet my bed every day. " Ye Jingying said that bed wetting is also related to snoring. This is because when snoring, the brain is lack of oxygen. After a child enters deep sleep, the brain cannot control his bladder, and bed wetting will occur. Once breathing is unobstructed and the brain can enjoy sufficient oxygen, the situation of bed wetting will be improved immediately.

Ye Jingying said that in recent years, more and more parents can pay attention to their children's snoring. Children aged two or three often come to the clinic. For the problem of children's snoring, the earlier attention, the less trauma and the better effect. Once it affects the face and even the growth and development, the treatment will not only cause greater surgical trauma, but also the impact on the face and growth and development has been irreversible.
