Snoring seems like something harmless that only harms the person who sleeps with the snorer, but this is not the case: it can become a serious health problem.
Snoring is caused by a partial blockage of air passage while sleeping. The muscles, tongue, and palate relax and the airway that passes to the trachea is reduced.
Around 50% of the population snores.
All of this may be indicative of a more serious problem, which is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (SAHS). It is caused by a total blockage of the air passage and breathing stops for 10 seconds or more. This can happen more or less frequently during the night and the consequences of this lack of oxygen can be very serious over the years. If this problem is not treated, the risk of hypertension, heart attack, diabetes, sexual dysfunction, etc., increases.
What symptoms can alert you to the problem? Snoring, tiredness, feeling of not sleeping well, lack of concentration, drowsiness, falling asleep at the wheel, depression, memory loss, etc.
This problem must be correctly diagnosed and can be treated, among other ways, with a mandibular advancement device (MAD). It is a custom-made device that the patient uses to sleep and that minimizes the problem of snoring and apneas.
