Loud snoring aggravates coronary heart disease
Mr. Liu, 57, is an elderly patient with hypertension and has coronary heart disease. In the past three years, Mr. Liu's coronary heart disease has been poorly controlled. Due to recurrent angina and coronary stenosis, Mr. Liu has implanted 5 stents in three years. However, despite significant medical expenses, Mr. Liu's angina still recurred and his blood pressure was difficult to control.
To this end, Mr. Liu has sought medical advice everywhere, but it is surprising that the cause of his repeated attacks of coronary heart disease is not only a heart problem, but also related to snoring during sleep.
It turned out that Mr. Liu spoke about his distress at a dinner party with friends and complained, "This illness has caused me a lot of trouble, but fortunately, I sleep well at night, and my wife often complains about being woken up by my snoring." Mr. Liu's words attracted the attention of a doctor friend, who reminded Mr. Liu that snoring loudly is not a good thing, it may be related to sleep apnea, and suggested that Mr. Liu go to the hospital to have a look.
After careful inquiry, the doctor learned that Mr. Liu has been experiencing symptoms such as sleep snoring, daytime lethargy, and decreased memory. He was initially suspected of having sleep apnea. The polysomnography test finally confirmed the doctor's judgment that Mr. Liu had severe sleep apnea.
