Is it okay for women to snore frequently?

Many people think that only men snore, but this is actually not true. Many women also snore when they sleep. There are many reasons that may cause women to snore, such as being too fat, bad sleeping posture, and bad living habits. Snoring doesn’t seem to be a big deal, and many people don’t think it is a disease. So, is it good for women to snoring?

There are two types of snoring. If the snoring is relatively even and there is no breathing pause, which means it does not harm the body, it is called benign snoring. When benign snoring occurs, the respiratory tract remains unobstructed. When the respiratory tract becomes narrow and snoring occurs, it is malignant snoring.

Medical research has confirmed that the main cause of snoring is the narrowing and blockage of the nose and nasopharynx, oropharynx and soft palate, and root of the tongue. In addition, the relaxation of the soft tissue of the pharynx and the backward drop of the tongue during sleep prevent the airflow from passing freely through the airway of the pharynx, and the vibration of the soft tissue of the pharynx produces a loud snoring sound - snoring.

Generally, obese people and those with respiratory diseases are more likely to get this disease. If you have obvious apnea during sleep, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. First, you need to find out whether the snoring is caused by airway obstruction and how severe it is, and then make appropriate treatment based on the condition. Snoring seriously harms one's health. Due to frequent respiratory arrests during snoring, the brain is severely deprived of oxygen, and patients experience dry mouth, dizziness, drowsiness, and affect their work and study. Especially for middle-aged and elderly patients, long-term snoring can lead to arrhythmia, increased blood pressure, myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, endocrine disorders and mental and neurological diseases. Respiratory and cardiac arrest during snoring can lead to sudden death in sleep. Snoring has become a threat to life and health.

1. Soak 5-10 peppercorns in a cup of boiling water before going to bed, and drink it after the water has cooled down (do not swallow the peppercorns). Take it for 5 consecutive days to treat snoring.

2. Just dilute 3 to 4 drops of mouthwash with warm water and gargle before going to bed to reduce or stop snoring. This mouthwash contains a resin oil that has a special effect in stopping snoring. It can increase the blood supply to the throat mucosa, making the throat mucosa in a state of sufficient blood supply. The soft palate and uvula will not vibrate due to relaxation, and the snoring will be weakened and stop.

The pillows on the market that claim to be specifically for treating snoring are not credible and have no scientific basis. They may help patients sleep more soundly, but don't just believe in them. If the condition is relatively mild, patients can lose weight or increase exercise and pay attention to a light diet. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to find out the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
