Do not Underestimate Snoring Habits

While sleeping is often considered normal snoring. In fact, snoring can be a sign that you experience sleep apnea disorders, namely blockage of oxygen supply, usually within seconds and repeatedly into the brain and the entire body.

Snoring is generally due to excessive relaxation and constriction in the soft tissues and upper throat muscles so that the base of the tongue falls and clogs the respiratory tract. When oxygen flow is inadequate, the brain will wake you up so that the respiratory tract reopens.

Military Dental Staff at Dental and Oral Ladokgi Hospital TNI AL RE Martadinata drg Cut Yulian F Barley said there is no official number of sleep apnea sufferers in Indonesia.

However, as an illustration, according to The Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine, snoring is afflicted by more than 20 million adults in the United States. And since most sleep apnea sufferers are unaware of the respiratory distress they experience, the role of family members, such as a husband or wife, becomes very important for the healing process of sleep apnea.

Furthermore, Dr. Cut says that many factors can cause a person suffering from sleep apnea, ranging from overweight, over 40 years of age, large neck size, allergies, small jaw shape, sinus disorders to genetic factors.

Overall, men have a greater risk than women. It is not always the person who is snoring must suffer from sleep apnea. However, if the sound caused by snoring is considered quite hard, it would not hurt to see your doctor immediately.
