A male patient in his 60s who had a fight with sleep every lunchtime. In addition, he visited the hospital after having a hard time due to his face getting redder and redder as if he had been drinking and his weight not decreasing. As a result of the sleep polygraph test, he was diagnosed with severe 'sleep apnea', which means he stops breathing for up to 74 seconds. Only then did he understand the symptoms that had been bothering him... What is 'sleep apnea' and what effect does it have on our body? 'Sleep apnea' is a disease in which apnea and hypopnea occur during sleep, and it is usually more common in men than in women. If sleep apnea continues, it prevents you from falling into deep sleep, causing inconvenience in your daily life the next day. In addition, if you can't sleep like this, you can easily gain weight due to hormonal imbalance. However, 'sleep apnea' can cause greater danger in the long term... Let's take a closer look at 'sleep apnea' that is ruining my body. △ 'Sleep divorce' for each other's happiness A female patient in her 60s who doesn't get tired even after sleeping for a short time. Until a few years ago, her life was difficult due to severe snoring and constant drowsiness. What changed her sleep was the 'positive pressure machine'! After undergoing a polysomnography test at the recommendation of her daughter, she learned that she had moderate 'sleep apnea' and started using it. At first, she was saddened by the burden of having to use the positive pressure machine for the rest of her life, but she said she had no choice but to use it for her health. If 'sleep apnea' is left untreated, it can lead to more serious complications such as stroke or cardiovascular disease. That's how she started the positive pressure machine treatment, but after using the positive pressure machine, she felt that her quality of sleep had improved, so she recommended it to her husband, and now he is using the positive pressure machine too. But why does this couple always sleep separately? Usually, when a couple sleeps in 'separate rooms', there is suspicion between the couple. However, sleeping separately can actually make the couple's relationship stronger! In particular, if even one of the couple has a sleep disorder, 'separate room therapy' is strongly recommended. "Should my husband and I sleep in separate rooms?" Who should sleep separately and why? Let's take a closer look at sleep disorders and separate room therapy. ✔ Program name: Myung-ui - You're sleeping wrong ✔ Broadcast date: 2024.5.10 #ebshealth #Myung-ui #Health #Sleep #Sleep #Sleep disorder #Sleep apnea #Apnea #Obesity #Weight #Sleep study #Snoring #Sleepiness #CPAP #Treatment
