Snoring
It is termed as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.
This condition occurs most often in overweight middle aged men and affects 1-2 % of the population.
It can occur in children particularly with enlarged tonsils.
The major symptoms are as follows
- loud snoring
- daytime sleepiness
- unrefreshed sleep
- restless sleep
- morning headache
- night choking
- reduced libido
- morning drunkenness
- ankle swelling
Apnoeas occur when the airway at the back of the throat is sucked closed when breathing in during sleep.When awake this tendency is overcome by the action of opening muscles of the upper airway. Partial narrowing results in snoring, occlusion in apnoea and critical narrowing vin hypopnoeas.
Patients are woken by the struggle to breathe against the blocked throat. The awakenings are so brief that the patient remains unaware of them but is woken thousands of times per night leading to daytime sleepiness and impaired performance.
Important contributory factors are obesity, a small pharyngeal opening and chronic air flow limitation.
