Do you have a habit of snoring while sleeping? Be careful, as this is a risk group for sleep apnea. The medical community has now confirmed that sleep apnea can be inherited by the next generation. If parents are prone to snoring, and the child has an allergic constitution or habitually breathes through the mouth, they are highly likely to develop sleep apnea. A U.S. research report indicates that in addition to the general tonsillectomy, if combined with orthodontic treatment, the cure rate can be as high as 90%.
A 16-year-old young woman underwent sleep monitoring, and it was observed that she would occasionally wake up due to temporary hypoxia, breathing with her mouth wide open, which is a symptom of sleep apnea. Dr. Lin Jiamo, Director of the Sleep Center at Shin Kong Hospital, stated, "(Sleep apnea) can lead to chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and stroke."
Sleep apnea can trigger chronic diseases, so it is crucial to be cautious. A significant discovery in the medical field is that if adults have a habit of snoring, children can inherit it. Coupled with an allergic constitution or habitual mouth breathing, the likelihood of nasal and tonsil enlargement increases, naturally narrowing the airway and creating a vicious cycle of sleep apnea. Dr. Lin Jiamo, Director of the Sleep Center at Shin Kong Hospital, said, "In addition to ENT treatment, dental treatment and simultaneous allergy control are very, very important."
U.S. reports confirm that in addition to removing excess tonsils, orthodontic treatment must also be combined to fully open the airway. Doctors also recommend that children seek treatment between the ages of 4 and 15, as the effectiveness of treatment decreases with age. Currently, Taiwan is still in the clinical stage, but based on U.S. experience, the cure rate is as high as 90%, allowing adults and children with sleep apnea to no longer rely on respirators for life.
