4 Sleep apnoea
4 睡眠呼吸暫停
Sleep apnoea is a condition where a person stops breathing between loud snores. These pauses in breathing happen when the airways narrow or close completely, depriving the lungs of oxygen. When the brain detects dangerously low levels of oxygen, it automatically wakes the sufferer, so they can return to normal breathing.
睡眠呼吸暫停指人在很大的鼾聲中停止呼吸的狀況。呼吸暫停的情況往往在氣流狹窄或完全關閉的情況下發(fā)生，剝奪肺部的氧氣，當大腦發(fā)現(xiàn)氧氣量處于危險的低水平的時候，會自動地叫醒睡著的人，因此它們會返回正常的呼吸狀態(tài)。
Most common in overweight, middle aged men, those with the condition are at increased risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease and hypertension. For many sufferers, the only sign is feeling exhausted the next day. Breathing machines worn at night, plus lifestyle changes, can help.
