summary

Obesity is an important factor causing snoring. After weight loss, the original snorers will be significantly reduced. Bad living habits such as smoking and drinking will aggravate snoring. It is forbidden to take sedative and sleeping drugs before going to bed to avoid aggravating the inhibition of respiratory center regulation. As a complex disease, how can we prevent snoring?

How can I prevent snoring

First: take the lateral position, especially the right side position, to avoid the tongue, soft palate, uvula relaxation and falling back during sleep, aggravating the upper airway obstruction. A small ball can be put on the back during sleep, which is helpful to maintain the lateral position sleep.

Second: the pillow should not be too high, and the thickness should be one side shoulder width. It is forbidden to take sedative and sleeping drugs before going to bed, so as not to aggravate the inhibition of respiratory center regulation, which is not conducive to the second stage of snoring.

Third: avoid smoking and drinking, because smoking can cause respiratory symptoms, drinking aggravates snoring, night breathing disorders and hypoxemia. Especially drinking before going to bed.

matters needing attention

On this, I would like to remind you: sleep posture should not be arbitrary. Lying on the right side is beneficial to relax the limbs and protect the heart, and people with heart failure should avoid lying on the left side; sleeping on the back will increase the risk of snoring and apnea; sleeping on the prone will compress the ribs and squeeze the heart.
