What is the disease of making humming noises when sleeping?

If you always have humming sounds while sleeping, the most common reason is poor breathing, such as rhinitis, lung infection, asthma or bronchial asthma, etc. It may also be caused by pharyngitis, which is also quite common in life. Once you have chronic pharyngitis, you will often feel strange and uncomfortable. It is also easy to have that kind of situation. When these situations occur, you must treat it in time. Pay attention to fresh air and avoid environmental pollution.

What to do if you have trouble breathing

1. Get some fresh air

Staying in a room with closed doors and windows and poor air circulation for a long time, or encountering some unpleasant things, or even having quarrels or disputes with others, or being in a climate with low air pressure, will often cause feelings of chest tightness and fatigue. After a short rest, opening windows for ventilation or going outside to breathe fresh air, relaxing your mind and regulating your emotions, you will soon return to normal.

2. Avoid environmental pollution

Avoid various pathogenic factors, especially smoking, environmental pollution, colds, etc., avoid inhalation of dust and irritating gases; pay attention to keeping warm, change unhealthy lifestyles, and improve living environment if conditions permit.

3. Long-term home oxygen therapy

If a patient has severe breathing difficulties, long-term mechanical home oxygen therapy is needed to supplement oxygen, and oxygen should be supplemented whenever there is oxygen deficiency.

If the blood oxygen saturation is lower than 90%, long-term home oxygen therapy is required. If it is lower than 91-95%, long-term home oxygen therapy is best. Long-term home oxygen therapy generally involves inhaling oxygen through a nasal catheter, with a flow rate of 1.0 to 2.0 L/min (as directed by a doctor). The duration of oxygen inhalation covers the period of hypoxia, and oxygen must be inhaled during sleep. Long-term home oxygen therapy should use an oxygen therapy oxygen machine, not an ordinary oxygen machine.

4. Ventilator therapy

When there is CO2 retention, high carbon dioxide partial pressure or respiratory support is needed to improve respiratory distress and reduce cardiac load, or there is sleep apnea syndrome (snoring), a bi-level non-invasive ventilator with backup frequency can be used to reduce carbon dioxide partial pressure. If only sleep apnea syndrome (snoring) is present, oxygen inhalation alone cannot improve the problem of hypoxia during sleep. In this case, a single-level ventilator can be used to solve the problem of breath holding and hypoxia, thereby controlling and stabilizing the condition.
