About Sleep Breathing Disorder

Sleep breathing disorder, also known as sleep-disordered breathing, is a sleep disorder that affects the delivery of oxygen to the body's tissues during sleep. It is characterized by repeated episodes of breathing interruptions, which can cause fatigue, wakefulness, and other symptoms. Sleep breathing disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, obesity, and some medications. Treatment typically involves lifestyle modifications, such as quitting smoking, losing weight, and using a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine to deliver oxygen during sleep. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Sleep breathing disorders can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life, so it is important to seek medical attention if you are experiencing symptoms.

Major Symptoms of Sleep Breathing Disorder

The main symptoms of Sleep Breathing Disorder include:

1. Snoring: During sleep, due to relaxation or obstruction of respiratory muscles, the patient's breathing speed slows down, causing resistance when the airflow passes through the mouth or nasal cavity, resulting in snoring.

2. Apnea: During the patient's breathing process, the airflow is suspended due to certain reasons (such as oral muscle relaxation, throat spasm, etc. ), causing sudden difficulty in breathing.

3. Waking up at night: The patient wakes up frequently at night, feels difficulty breathing or chest tightness, and is unable to fall asleep again.

4. Daytime fatigue: Patients feel tired, have headaches, have difficulty concentrating, and have poor memory during the day.

5. Nocturnal cough: Patients cough or expectorate at night due to poor breathing.

6. Snoring during the day: Patients also snore during the day, which affects their normal work and life.

7. Hoarseness: Hoarseness may occur due to damage to throat tissue caused by long-term snoring or difficulty breathing.

8. Neck pain: Pain in the neck muscles due to snoring or difficulty breathing.

9. Abnormal electroencephalogram: EEG can detect breathing problems during sleep. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time and receive treatment from a professional doctor.

Suitable Lifestyle for People with Sleep Breathing Disorder

Sleep Breathing Disorder is a sleep disorder in which patients experience pauses or irregular breathing during sleep, which may lead to nighttime awakenings or reduced sleep quality. People suffering from this disease should adopt the following lifestyle:

1. Regular work and rest schedule: Maintain a fixed work and rest schedule, go to bed and get up on time every day, and form good sleeping habits.

2. Stabilize emotions: Learn to manage emotions effectively and avoid strenuous exercise or heated discussions before going to bed to ensure that the brain relaxes and reduces stress.

3. Improve the sleep environment: Keeping the sleep environment quiet, comfortable, warm, moderately humid and other conditions will help improve sleep quality.

4. Relax your body and mind: Do some relaxing activities before going to bed, such as taking a bath, listening to soft music, reading, etc. to relieve stress and help you fall asleep.

5. Limit alcohol and caffeine: Avoid alcohol and coffee before bed as these substances can affect sleep quality.

6. Keep exercising: Carry out moderate physical exercise, but avoid strenuous exercise at night to avoid affecting sleep.

7. Eat properly: Avoid overeating before going to bed, and avoid stimulating foods such as chili peppers, chocolate, etc.
