Sleep apnea is a disorder of sleep. There is no substitute for adequate sleep for a healthy human life. But people who have sleep apnea often have nighttime sleep disturbances, headaches, fatigue or depression after waking up in the morning. All work can be annoying. Excessive nasal congestion during sleep is one of the symptoms of this disease. The infected person wakes up repeatedly at night, and feels sleepy throughout the day. Of the day
Bella can't concentrate on work. You can even fall asleep while working or reading.
But sleep apnea doesn't just mean sleep problems; This leads to respiratory disturbances, increasing the risk of heart disease and other complications. In fact, it adversely affects all parts of the body.
Why is that
In many cases the cause of the disease may be unknown. However, in 90 percent of cases, this is due to breathing disturbances during sleep. Our bronchial relaxation occurs during sleep, but those who experience this relaxation more than normal may have difficulty breathing during sleep. Being overweight is one of the causes of this disease.
In some cases, the disease may be due to some structural defects of the nose, ears and throat. Sleep apnea can also occur if there is a problem with the part of the brain that controls sleep.
How to understand
The physician must report a detailed history of sleep apnea patient problems. The patient does not understand his own problems in many cases. The one who sleeps next to him most of the time notices the symptoms. If there is any suspicion according to the symptoms, the doctor will do some tests.
Polysomnography or sleep tests are needed to diagnose sleep apnea for sure. The country now has the opportunity to test this. Patients can even have this test done at home through home-based polysomnography.
Lifelong disease?
The treatment of sleep apnea depends on the cause. If there is any structural defect in the nose, ears and throat, then sleep apnea can be cured by performing reconstructive surgery. Again, if sleep apnea is due to obesity or overweight, it can be controlled through weight control. However, if there is sleep apnea for any reason other than these, it cannot be completely eradicated, but it can be controlled.
The disease is controlled by using a device called C-Pap. The device should be worn at certain times of the day (such as at night or during the day), which helps to keep the patient's breathing normal during sleep. This reduces the symptoms of the disease and the patient can lead a normal life. There is nothing to be frustrated about having to use the device all your life. It is just a treatment, which helps to keep the patient comfortable in life.
Living with disease
Like other problems, sleep apnea is a disease. There is nothing to be emotionally broken about, there is nothing to feel weak or disabled. With treatment, normal life can be lived. If the treatment is not taken again, various complications may arise in the life of the patient. If left untreated, sleep apnea can increase a person's risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and even stroke.
So such a problem should be seriously considered. In addition, if someone already has high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, long-term lung problems (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), etc., then these diseases become difficult to control if proper treatment of sleep apnea is not taken.
Avoid sleep apnea
Keep weight under control. Maintain proper weight according to height means BMI.
Develop a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Consult a doctor if you notice problems like nausea, frequent shortness of breath in sleep, difficulty in breathing etc.
Some more
Nakadaka in sleep does not mean sleep apnea. However, if you have problems with excessive snoring during sleep, repeated sleep disturbances or frequent sleep disturbances, you must be tested for sleep apnea.
If you have a nagging problem while lying in a certain position, it is better not to lie in that position. It is better to lie down and lie down in a comfortable position.
Calling or pushing someone who is snoring in their sleep is not the answer.
