Please note that people with snoring or sleep apnea syndrome should neither neglect nor opt to have a surgery. This must be considered as a signal sent by the cerebrum to look after the sinuses.
What is Sleep Apnea
Snoring and sleep apneas can be distinguished by their degree of blockage in the respiratory tract. Snoring, while their airway is constricted, does not stop breathing, however, a completely blocked airway does not allow air to pass. If such condition lasts more than 10 seconds, it could be diagnosed as sleep apnea syndrome. It is required to check first, whether the patient subject to care breathe through the mouth during sleeping. Even though there is no signs of mouth breathing, restoring the ventilation in the nasal cavity and sinuses holds the primary importance. Concurrently, check the size of the pharynx, larynx and tonsils to determine whether obesity requires to be dealt with.
In conjunction with acupuncture therapy, it can decongest the affected area, bringing the cure without a surgical operation.
The Level of Snoring
Stage 0: Clear inhaling with no sound during a deep sleep - Healthy
Stage 1: Slight snoring at the beginning of a deep sleep - Good
Stage 2: Periodical snoring - Slightly blocked sinuses
Stage 3: Repeat loud and soft snoring – Heavily congested sinuses
Stage 4: No snoring, but breathing through the mouth - Worse than Stage 3
Stage 5: Sleeping with an open mouth
Stage 6: Possible sleep apnea syndrome
Sleep apnea becomes apparent at stage 6, much of the ostiomeatal complex is constricted, inducing severe breathing difficulty. While this stage of sleep apnea is very critical, stage 4 requires the utmost attention to diagnose. Most patients do not snore at that stage, but they are unaware of mouth breathing without snoring is more critical than snoring with their mouth closed.
I can assure that restoring the ventilation in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses can improve snoring as well as sleep apnea in every stage of snoring.
