Snoring can indicate the presence of any health problems and even become one of the reasons why a person can die while sleeping. About it told in an interview with Ura.ru otolaryngologist, otoneurologist Olga Malchenko.
“If this is complicated snoring, then with the mildest degree there is a risk of arterial hypertension, increased blood pressure, increased intracranial pressure,” she noted.
Without getting enough sleep, a person begins to experience daytime sleepiness, which causes a decrease in working capacity and quality of life.
“To a high degree snoring, that is, with respiratory arrest, – this is one of the most common causes of death in a person’s sleep, Malchenko warned.
The specialist clarified that there are different types of snoring. So, it can appear in violation of nasal breathing due to diseases of the nasal cavity, polyps, cysts or curvature of the septum. With normal nasal breathing, a person may snore due to problems with the palate, such as chronic tonsillitis or adenoids.
In some cases, as Malchenko concluded, a person can snore even if he is overweight.
Earlier, otolaryngologist Vladimir Zaitsev warned of a heart attack due to a chronic runny nose.
