What does your breathing say at night about your health

It is worth noting that the research has shown that breathing stop can appear differently in the sleeping of the remin: “A lot of uniformity of memory and emotional organization … happens during Rem”, Mander explains. “If you wake up during the REM due to the breathing event, you are dividing this process. If this happens night after night for years, he adds.”

Thus, early diagnosis is crucial – but it is currently outperforming. The diagnosis repeatedly depends on a partner who notes a loud voice, which is an unreliable signal at best.

“The truth is that women – especially pregnant women – have been ignored when it comes to sleep disturbances,” says Brown. “At the present time, our diagnostic standards are based on sleep-stopping to sleep on a very narrow demographic care-middle-aged men. But we know that women appear differently.”

“What has been classified as breathing during” moderate “can be moderate or even severe in a woman, especially during pregnancy,” she added. “We have supported research in pregnant women who found that moderate breathing that was deposited from sleep was an independent risk factor for high blood pressure, pregnancy poisoning and pregnancy.”

Wearable technology companies are racing to fill the diagnostic gap. Samsung’s Galaxy Watch has recently become the first to be worn to receive a DE Novo license from the US Food and Drug Administration to discover OSA signs. But experts remain careful. “Wearable devices and sleep tests improve at home, but they are not a substitute for a complete clinical diagnosis,” says Malhotra. “They can give a false feeling of safety – people see a degree and think they are fine when they are not.”

Mander is also skeptical: “It is not accurate enough to replace the appropriate diagnosis,” he says. “They may be better than nothing – as long as you treat them as one piece of information, not the full picture.” He adds that smart watches and rings can follow measures such as heart rate volatility, but they are still unreliable in the discovery of breathing patterns.

The golden standard in diagnosis is polysomnograph, which is a clinical sleep study that monitors brain and oxygen waves, heart rate and muscle activity. But this is costly and takes a long time, and does not expand well.

New home appliances now offer better options. Mander sheds light on monitoring, which uses fingers, wrist and chest sensors to detect breathing intercession by analyzing changes in blood vessels. There are also ARS, a gang screen that can be worn that measures air flow, oxygen levels, sleeping position, and Nightowl, a finger finger that received the approval of the Food and Drug Administration in recent years.

“It is a big step forward, especially to reach the residents who suffer from a lack of services who may not be able to reach the sleep laboratory,” says Mander. Still, there are restrictions. “For the time time, the home test is not known whether you are awake or asleep, much less than sleeping. Perhaps you miss people with the dominant OSA on REM,” he says. “If we have devices that can discover when these events-in RM versus unrestricted-that can help us to capture people early and reduce their risks.”

Once diagnosed, CPAP – continuous positive airway compression – raises the golden standard for treatment, although uncomfortable or fear of some users. A small machine is used to serve a fixed flow of air through a mask, which makes the airway open during sleep. “CPAP improves symptoms and blood pressure, and now we have emerging evidence that it may reduce the risk of cardiovascular,” says Malhotra.

For those who cannot withstand CPAP, new tools such as inserting the nose appear on the market. Some of the most unconventional interventions – amazingly effective. “There is an Australian study that has shown that Diegetto’s learning helped enhance the throat muscles and reduce the severity of OSA,” says Mander. “It is an enjoyable example, but it works.”

In the end, the most important step is awareness. “We used to think that snoring was annoying or funny,” says Malhotra. “Now we understand that it can be a sign of a serious medical condition. If you snore severely or feel tired constantly, don’t only branch it – see your doctor.”
