Lack of oxygen in the body can be caused by various reasons. Pay attention to the one who lives near you. And in the event that a person says: “I am suffocating in a dream”, I feel overwhelmed during the working day, even if the duration of night sleep is normal, you should try to send him to a specialist for diagnosis with a view to further treatment.
The main reason you can hear complaints like "suffocating at night" is snoring. At first glance, a completely harmless manifestation can occur as a result of shortness of breath, which subsequently leads to irreversible consequences in the form of asphyxiation, that is, asphyxiation. In order to get rid of snoring, first of all, you need to change your lifestyle. If your partner complains that they say that they are suffocating in a dream, try to convince him not to eat food just before bedtime, reduce alcohol consumption to a minimum, and also stop smoking. In addition, an increase in overall activity also favorably affects the quality of sleep in general.
In addition to changing habits, a person who constantly snores in his sleep and says: “Choking at night,” you need to check the cardiovascular system and the level of pressure, because snoring can also be caused by malfunctions of the heart.
Chronic rhinitis can also be the cause of snoring, in which case the snoring needs consultation with an otolaryngologist.
Excess weight also contributes to increased snoring, so if bouts of shortness of breath bother you day or night, you need to get rid of extra pounds.
In this case, not only the snoring himself suffers, but also the one who is nearby. Often, precisely this reason can indirectly affect the decrease in sexual desire between spouses.
The best solution for snoring, and for those who constantly have to suffer while listening to overflows in a dream, is to see a doctor. After all, it is a specialist who will be able to make an accurate diagnosis of the disease and prescribe the right decision.
You should take your health even more seriously if, in the absence of snoring, night strangulation bothers you. Night asphyxia, or shortness of breath, is dangerous by sudden cardiac arrest in a dream. Therefore, if you suffer from chronic obstructive bronchitis, or bronchial asthma, if your constant complaints are reduced to the fact that, now, you’re suffocating in a dream, and that’s all, try to constantly visit a therapist or pulmonologist to change treatment and undergo a scheduled fluorographic examination. Also, use new medicines with caution if you are prone to allergic reactions.
Those who live next to a person with chronic diseases of the lungs and bronchi need to be able to provide first aid.
In the event that the partner’s complaints that “I’m suffocating in a dream” have become more frequent, be prepared to call an ambulance at any time. This must be done, since with asphyxiation every minute is important. If an attack does occur while you are waiting for doctors, try to unclench the person’s jaw and make mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration, free the patient’s upper body from clothing and provide oxygen to the room.
Ambulance doctors can give an injection that improves heart function and hospitalize the patient, since such attacks are removed in a hospital.
I would like to say that when living with a person, you should always pay attention to complaints such as “suffocating in a dream”, even if previously no shortness of breath, heart disease, or even snoring was observed in a person. The human body has the ability to wear out, and it is worth being more attentive to each other in order to avoid serious consequences and not to lose a person dear and close to you.
