Patient's question:
It happened again at midnight suddenly hiccupping and then nosebleeding after thatDoctor's answer:
It is simply snoring, but it may also be caused by many nasal and pharyngeal diseases, such as nasal polyps, sinusitis, and pharyngeal polyps, leading to difficulty in breathing. Since the airway of a snorer is usually narrower than that of a normal person, the throat muscles compensate by tightening during the day to keep the airway open and prevent obstruction. However, during deep sleep at night, the excitability of the nerves increases, the muscles relax, the pharyngeal alliance becomes blocked, and the upper airway collapses. When the airflow passes through the narrow area, it creates eddies and causes vibrations, resulting in snoring. In severe cases, breathing can temporarily stop.
