Which should look out for is the kind of snoring loud that sound out of the room. Snoring is usually interrupted for a moment, then continued with the breath that sounded like a stomping.
If such a situation occurs, it means the person periodically stops breathing. Breath is a stomping, the body's defense mechanism against the risk of low levels in the blood O2/CO2. This condition causes inadequate sleep quality and often complain of insomnia sufferers as.
In medical terms, the pattern of breath stop snoring is often called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) or obstructive breathing disorders during sleep.
Typical symptoms of OSAS include frequently changing sleeping position, a dream or a nightmare of choking. Patients with OSAS often terbangung at night with a pounding heart. We got up early, the patient usually feels not enough sleep or less fresh. In addition, patients also get up early with ringkuh, all in one, dry mouth and headache.

According to Prof. Hendarto Hendarmin, ENT specialists in Jakarta, causing a person's snoring vary. Anatomical abnormalities can be due to the nose (septal deviation), the blockage by polyps, or allergies that cause the membrane to swell the lenders, so people have to breathe through the mouth. Snoring can also be experienced by the children, and usually due to enlarged tonsils and adenoid who is behind the nose. What is clear, indicating the occurrence of snoring is obstruction in the respiratory tract when a person is asleep. Snoring comes from efforts salauran air to pass through the narrowed air itu.Adapun process, during sleep, muscle-including respiratory muscles, become more relaxed than when awake. In these circumstances some people did not become a problem. But in some people, especially the elderly, the relaxed muscle to constrict respiratory tract and cause blockage.
Conditions in the more compounded when the patient in the supine sleeping position, so that the relaxed tongue falling back. So there like a bottle neck obstruction. Vibration due to air turbulence in the soft pharyngeal negative pressure on breathing during sleep the way it appears as snoring.
Snoring and risk
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) or obstructive breathing disorders during sleep it can also attack the children with excessive body weight or who suffer from enlarged tonsils. Like adults, OSAS is characterized by snoring. Other symptoms of OSAS in children is a difficult breathing sounds or patterns of 'guard bed' is not regular.
In adolescents, OSAS is marked by excessive sleepiness during the day and school performance deteriorated. The young patients are often labeled as slow or lazy child.
Patients will complain of excessive sleepiness, even disturbing degree. Patients can fall asleep in public places, while chatting, meeting, sitting in a chair, even when waiting for traffic lights turned green.
In normal conditions, blood pressure and pulse frequency during sleep is lower than when awake. OSAS patients but in fact the opposite happened. Resulting in additional burden to the work of the heart. This situation is often dihubungankan with a heart attack when people sleep at night.
OSAS patients during sleep, the supply of oxygen to the heart decreases (because of breathing problems), while the heart muscle needs oxygen will rise due to high blood pressure and heartbeat frequency increased.
Risk of Death and Sex Disorder
It was not meant to frighten, snoring proved to have a sufficient level of serious risk. According to the researchers in the United States said that severe sleep disorder could actually increase the risk of dying more quickly to 46 percent.
Naresh Punjabi and his team have done a study of 6400 men and confluence for about 8 years. And found people with more severe sleep disorder risk youth died regardless of age, sex, weight and smoking or not, as reported in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS Medicine.
"The males 42.9 percent had no breathing problems during sleep, 33.2 percent had sleep disturbance was 8.2 percent and has a sleep disorder that is very severe," said Naresh Punjabi.
While it was for women, 25 percent have a sleep disorder and was 3 percent have a sleep disorder that is severe. Researchers funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health says people who have sleep disorders were not included in this group.
Disturbance of concentration and orientation become forgetful is due to low quality and quantity of sleep. Behavioral changes such as irritability, angry, aggressive, suspicious, anxious, and depression often accompanies chronic sleep disorders in OSAS patients. In addition approximately 28% of those with OSAS complain of decreased sexual desire. In kamum men, an important cause of OSAS decreased ability erection (impotence)
Another study by Koehler and Schafer (1996) concluded that 35% of patients suffering from coronary heart OSAS. Instead Rangermark et al, (1995) states, in OSAS patients decrease blood clot destruction activity, further heighten the risk of coronary disease or vascular disease of the brain. (Kompas, March 30, 1997).
Stop breathing in OSAS patients also inhibits the supply of oxygen to the brain. As a result, brain cells are starved of oxygen. The worst condition is the death of cells, just like a stroke.
Reported by Palomaki et al. (1989), 41.9% stroke occurs during sleep, and about 70% of these patients are those with the habit of snoring.
