How to stop snoring: the discovery of doctors

One of the beneficial side effects of weight loss is best to get rid of snoring and involuntary delays in breathing during sleep. This conclusion was made on the first domestic master-class on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of disorders of breathing during sleep. The event was held in the First Moscow State Medical University named after IM Sechenov.

Science has long established that snoring is not harmless: snoring more often than other people to die in his sleep, and generally have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Also recall that a recent study by American scientists showed that snoring can also lead to cancer.

The problem is that breathing while snoring is slower than usual and may even stop for a while (apnea) - reducing the level of oxygen in the body sometimes up to a catastrophic point. Snoring is probably also linked to obesity, because, as the member of the presidium of the National Society of Sleep Medicine and somnology Roman Buzunov "If lose 5-7% of total body weight, the snoring stops with a probability of 50%." The question is: which leads to snoring and sleep apnea? And how to avoid them, if they so dangerous?

Buzunov believes that snoring and apnea are often responsible for the most frequent infections of the upper respiratory tract and allergic rhinitis, "Rhinitis causes hypertrophy of the adenoids, and because of it, in turn, arises mouth breathing, which significantly increases the likelihood of a hypertrophy of the tonsils. And this is leading to sleep apnea. "

Doctors warned the participants of the master class - everyone who snores - not relate to this particular organism lightly and apply to the specialized medical centers and clinics, where patients, doctors can stop snoring for one procedure, even without prior examination. Among these procedures, for instance - surgery on the soft palate. To cure snoring, have to make an appointment with a sleep or audiologist who will be able to understand you need surgery or not, only after a comprehensive survey.

For reference:

Strong snoring can reach a volume of 112 dB. Snoring usually does not hear their own snoring, as opposed to a partner who over time and sleep for the night tormented by the sounds of snoring. As a consequence, a partner snoring in the morning not feeling sleep, tired, irritable.
