Millions of transactions each year on smiling sleep apnea improve your health, beauty, and yours too, but there is a hidden danger in some of the most common method, apnea can be difficult, if not to drive disease. Sleep apnea occurs when the shoes are too tight, which forced the inner layer of soft tissue that lines the upper respiratory tract, nose, neck. More than a few times a week, I see patientswho underwent the procedure in the past, which clearly affect the quality of their sleep here. 7, ordinary and extraordinary procedures that sleep can affect how you breathe.
1. Rhinoplasty
One of the most common procedures were held today for your work routine rhinoplasty or nose. In most cases, a hump is demolished, or the tip is narrower. In the method, some structures are weak, with nostrils fragilewhat many years later. In 1950, Goldman was the top of the most popular designs, where the tip of the nose was very narrow and slightly raised. With each step, the tip, a portion of the lower lateral cartilage must either reduced or cut off. This cartilage is one of the main institutions that support keeps your nose hole from collapsing.
Initially after surgery, patients can breathe well, but years or decades later, with a constantThe inspiration and the forces of empty routine to breathe, his nostrils slowly in caves, worsening of nasal congestion.
We know that a stuffy nose can cause or worsen obstructive sleep apnea. Therefore, a nasal packing after operation miserable experience, and why rolling, if cold (from a stuffy nose), they have one. If your jawbone shrinks you already have more of a nasal hump, narrow nasal cavity, nasal congestion is worseningthat aggravate respiratory problems downstream. Underdevelopment of the midface pulls the upper lip and nose cartilage lower down, so that the classic nasal hump.
Even with modern techniques of rhinoplasty, it is important that this happens stop using the correct technique and minimizing remove excess cartilage.
2. Orthodontics / hats
I'm sure you've seen children who have in recent years, headgear, with a brace around his head and wiresPushing or pulling teeth. Children with overjet (overbite) was from the upper back teeth, which manages the illusion of a real bite. The fact is that in these children, the lower jaw is underformed, and the best thing to do is pull the jaw and teeth in the form to us for the upper teeth.
In addition, some orthodontists can still pull teeth to make room for the remaining teeth. Your smile can be beautiful, but it was smaller in the process of the mandible. Any amount ofNarrowing of the jaw creates less space for the language, and muscle relaxation in deep sleep, you will cease to breathe more frequently. It's bad enough that the modern human jaw shrink even more (due to a radical change in our diet and bottles), but when you start the extraction of more teeth, you're sure to have trouble breathing. The molar teeth also act to support the soft tissues of the neck. To remove the teeth back to destabilize the softTaste, exacerbating the collapse of most soft tissues, especially in old age.
3. Oral Surgery
Once in a while, I'll see that the lower jaw to push back surgery patients underwent a prominent lower jaw. In this situation, the upper jaw must move forward. Since the tax base of the tongue to get you back on your lower jaw, no backward movement of the jaw may push back the tongue, aggravating breathing problems during sleep.
4.Thyroglossal
The thyroid gland begins on the back of the tongue and migrates in front of your neck a voice, and then divides into right and left lobe of the thyroid with a small connection between the two over the top of the trachea. Sometimes a radical wing of the left that the language of your mailbox, with cysts or sheets of thyroid tissue or even on this road. If the cyst grows, you have a ball center line or swelling does not go away.The treatment of this condition called thyroglossal duct, surgical removal of it.
The method is the classic Sistrunk procedure for surgeons who called originally described under the name. The important part of this process includes the center line 1 / 3 of the hyoid bone, which is a C-shaped bone that sits on her mailbox removed. Unfortunately, it is also possible weakening and destabilization of the plants on the tongue and larynx. After interviewing a handful of patientsyears who have experienced this process in the past (some of my own and some other surgeons), the majority said that their sleep quality deteriorated. If you are ever going to undergo this procedure, it is important for reuse or reconstruct the tissue to help your language and support of the throat.
5. Hysterectomy
total hysterectomy with or without removal of the ovaries is a common procedure for many women. We know that, especially when the ovaries are removed, thiscreates a state of surgical menopause. I described the sound in previous articles, the fall in progesterone during the normal menopause, the quality of sleep alters considerably, mainly because of the effects of progesterone on the tongue and muscles of the upper respiratory tract. Since the muscle tone of the language gradually decreases, and awakenings are frequent obstacles, and do not sleep well.
This is one of the main reasons why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps many women to sleep better. However,with the recent discovery that HRT may increase cancer rates, it is not recommended. If you think that is currently being hysterectomy, to be well prepared not to sleep around too much.
6. Breast Augmentation
If you are a woman and wants to sleep on his stomach, breast implants, then I can certainly impair the quality of sleep. For a few weeks after this procedure, most surgeons ask, sleeping on your back. The problem isthat when on his back, his tongue will fall more often, leading to frequent awakenings and breathing barriers. Until we are able to sleep prepared from the stomach to lose a lot again. Unfortunately, some women are never able to go back to sleep on his stomach and had to sleep on my side or back.
7. Each type of operation
No matter what type of surgery, you learn when you are forced to sleep onThe back, then your sleep apnea will be worse. If you have never sleep apnea or sleep-breathing problems, and the back can bring to your first experience, especially if you sleep natural side or stomach.
As you can see, millions of people trained in these procedures per year. Sometimes the effect on sleep occurs immediately, while others may take months or years to surface. If you're planning any of the aboveProcess, or if you experience any of the previous thinking about how it could possibly affect the quality of sleep. It 's something you should be sleeping anyway.
