In modern society where life pressure is multiplied, sleep can be said to be a rare realm. Those who fall asleep quickly and sleep until dawn are especially envied. But a recent study by Emory University shows that a significant proportion of people who fall asleep too often are accompanied by “sleep breathing”, which can cause an increase in blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease.
interrupted breathing hundreds of times a night
For patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), the brain will sense the body of oxygen, then orders the body to breathe , thus causing a brief awakening. Once awake, the throat is back to tension, the respiratory tract is opened, the breathing returns to normal, and the patient can fall asleep. But after falling asleep, the throat began to loosen and collapse again, and the degree of breathing force increased, and sleep was interrupted again.
This vicious circle interrupts sleep hundreds of times a night, causing patients to have deep sleep, so they often have symptoms of lethargy during the day, which can affect work and even cause a car accident. But most of the time for breathing interruption and waking is very short, and the patients themselves don’t remember.
Experts point out that in addition to affecting people’s work and life, OSAS is even more terrifying is that it can induce high blood pressure, heart failure, and myocardial infarction.
Obstructive illnesses account for the big head
How does sleep-disorder stop? “Hazard” is the nervous system? Experts point out that clinically defined apnea refers to at least 10 breaths twice. The interval of seconds, during which the body will experience a decrease in blood oxygen saturation.
In general, sleep apnea can be divided into three types: central, obstructive, and complex.
The central type means that the brain no longer sends a corresponding signal to the tracheal muscles that control the breathing, causing the breathing to stop; the obstructive type is due to the physical relaxation of the tracheal muscles, narrowing the trachea and temporarily blocking the passage; The type is the first two types of mixing.
The three types of iconic representations are “sounds like thunder”. Among the three types of sleep-disordered breathing, the most common and highest incidence rate is obstructive, accounting for 84% of the total cases, and the central and complex types account for only 0.4% and 15%, respectively.
