Snoring is not necessarily a disease. Stopping will kill you. Let’s see what hydrogen can do for snoring!
Hydrogen medicine expert Professor Sun Xuejun : Since 2018, a large number of people's sleep monitoring has been conducted before and after inhaling hydrogen and oxygen to observe the effect of inhaling hydrogen on preventing apnea caused by snoring during sleep. Preliminary results show : Inhaling hydrogen does have a certain effect, and I will share it with you today.
1. What is snoring?
According to survey data, about 70% of adults snore during sleep. Many reasons such as being too tired, too fat, drinking at night, etc. will make you play the exciting " march " when you sleep, and the tone rises and falls, continues, and the rhythm changes. If the snoring is not serious, if the person next to you is pushed or pinched by someone who wakes up, if the person changes his sleeping position, the snoring will become smaller or disappear. If the snoring is serious, the snoring will be small or no longer possible. It didn't work, the snoring was still loud, so severe that it even penetrated through the floor and reached the ears of the neighbors upstairs.
2. Why do you snore?
Simply put, snoring is because the respiratory airway is narrow or even blocked. When a person breathes, a large amount of gas quickly passes through the air path (including nose, throat, trachea ) in and out of the lungs. Originally, the "road is wide", but there are too many "blockers", such as obesity, Rhinitis , tonsil hypertrophy, tongue hypertrophy , etc., will set up various obstacles on the path of gas circulation, making it difficult to get gas in and out every time you breathe.
The air was suddenly blocked in the " intestinal tract ". So much gas had to squeeze through. As the gas flow rate increased, you can imagine the sound... We can compare whistling with the mouth. If you want to make a loud and crisp sound, do you have to open your mouth up and down to leave only a small hole? Does the harder you exhale, the louder the sound? If you have the ability, try whistling with your mouth wide open. Try it and see if you can make some sound. It's definitely impossible.
When breathing while sleeping, the more blocked the airway is, the louder the snoring sound will be. On the contrary, if your snoring sound can be heard in the clouds, it proves that your airway obstruction problem is more serious!
三, Is snoring considered a disease?
3.1 This is a question that people often ask me. First of all, snoring alone is not a big deal. According to everyone's general understanding, making some noise while sleeping has no big impact and does not affect the quality of sleep. Do whatever you need to do the next day.
3.2 According to medical understanding , snoring during sleep proves that the airway may have begun to narrow. If you are not dizzy the next day, it proves that this kind of snoring does not affect the exchange of oxygen during sleep, and it is nothing. Big problem.
3.3 The most fatal problem is that you can snore, but don’t stop! As soon as you stop breathing, you will stop breathing. If you don’t breathe, you will be held there. This is the most fatal thing!
Gas The tract is so narrow that it is blocked, and the airflow cannot pass through the obstruction no matter how hard it tries. This is what is medically defined as " snoring ", also known as " obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome ".
In common people's terms, breathing stops while sleeping. Once breathing stops, oxygen cannot be supplied. If oxygen cannot be supplied, people will be hypoxic. Once people are hypoxic, the problem will be serious.
3.4 Let’s imagine a scene like this: : A person snores in his sleep. His voice is loud and high-pitched. Suddenly, the voice is gone. His chest no longer rises and falls. The night is quiet. After a few seconds or even dozens of seconds, the snoring sound disappears. Seconds later, he suddenly took a long breath, and the snoring began one after another. I believe many people are very familiar with this scene.Objectively speaking, this is good. At least he recovered and started breathing again. Some people will be woken up in sweat while sleeping. What is more serious is the sudden death of hypoxia caused by the inability to recover during sleep. !
In short, I would like to remind everyone that snoring while sleeping is not a big problem. The problem is that you cannot stop snoring. If you stop, it is likely that your breathing is being held. This is an issue that deserves great attention.
4. The dangers of snoring
"Ninety-nine points of health maintenance, one suppressing will destroy everything."
Although the dangers of snoring can be understood with a picture, we still use words to summarize it so that everyone can deepen their impression.
4.1, affecting the sleep of others
4.2, memory loss
When apnea occurs, the oxygen in the blood will decrease. If this happens often, it will affect memory.
4.3. Affects sleep quality
Snoring is not a sign of sleeping soundly. On the contrary, people who snore are easily awakened while sleeping.
4.4. Brain hypoxia
Because snoring can cause apnea, which reduces the oxygen content in the blood, leading to brain hypoxia.
4.5, poor Qi and blood
4.6, cardiovascular disease
If you snore often, it will also lead to the emergence of some cardiovascular diseases, such as high blood pressure , heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, etc.
4.7. Impact on the fetus
If a pregnant woman snores while sleeping, it will affect the development of the fetus due to hypoxemia , resulting in fetal development retardation.
4.8. Impact on development
If a child snores, not sleeping well at night will affect development, lead to body weight, and even heart problems.
5. The treatment method of "anhydrosis"
The most direct clinical method is surgical treatment, which is to remove the obstructed parts, such as turbinate hypertrophy, tongue hypertrophy, and tonsil hypertrophy.After removal, the airway will become unobstructed. If that doesn't work, just wear a ventilator. There is currently no effective drug treatment for sleep apnea, which is considered a difficult disease.
6. What effect does inhaling hydrogen have on apnea during snoring?
6.1 animal experimental research, rat mouse type experiments prove that inhaling hydrogen can minimize the damage to the body after holding one's breath, which means that if you inhale hydrogen If this is the case, even if the respiratory tract is blocked and the breath is deprived of oxygen during sleep, the damage to the body will be much less than if it were not inhaled hydrogen.
6.2 For people to experience , they use a artificial intelligence detection device BBS sleep monitoring system that is worn on the chest while sleeping. Currently, a total of more than 60 patients have been monitored, and it was found that they inhaled hydrogen for about a month (2 % concentration, 2~4 hours/day) can reduce the time and frequency of sleep apnea during snoring. The current trend of is that the effect is more obvious for patients with more severe symptoms. is more effective for patients who do not have sleep apnea and are just snoring. For patients who snore, inhaling hydrogen does not show significant improvement in the short term.
6.3 For people whose snoring is severe enough to cause respiratory arrest, inhaling hydrogen may be an option to try. It can help you minimize the damage to your body caused by hypoxia and minimize the occurrence of breath holding.
Long-term use of hydrogen may also fundamentally solve the problem of sleep apnea. For people who really value their health, if they do not want surgery for the time being, it is recommended to try hydrogen inhalation!
Your following, watching, and liking are the greatest encouragement to me!
