Ukulala xa umntu elala umntu kunxulumene nokufa ngonyaka

Umbutho weAmerican Sne Apnea Association uqikelela ukuba ngabantu abangama-38,000 eUnited States abaswelekayo nyaka ngamnye ngenxa yesifo sentliziyo kunye nokuphefumla xa ulala.

Abantu abane-apnea yokulala kunzima ukuphefumla okanye bayeke ukuphefumla ixesha elifutshane ngelixa belele. Esi sifo sokulala esinyangekayo sihlala singafunyanwa.

Ngokwe-American Heart Association, umntu om-1 kwaba-5 ukhe abe ne-apnea yokulala ukusa kumlinganiselo othile. Kuqheleke kakhulu emadodeni kunabafazi. Abantwana banako ukuba ne-apnea yokulala.

Ngaphandle konyango, i-apnea yokulala ingakhokelela kwiingxaki ezinkulu.

Ingakhokelela okanye ibe mandundu iimeko ezininzi ezisongela ubomi, kubandakanya:

• igazi elonyukayo
• ukubetha
• ukufa ngesiquphe kwentliziyo (intliziyo)
• umbefu
• ICOPD
• iswekile yemellitus

Ingozi yokuphefumla ubuthongo ngaphandle konyango: Oko kuthethwa luphando

I-apnea yokulala ibangela i-hypoxia (inqanaba eliphantsi leoksijini emzimbeni). Xa oku kusenzeka, umzimba wakho uyaxinezeleka kwaye uphendule ngempendulo yokulwa-okanye-yokubaleka, ebangela ukuba intliziyo yakho ibethe ngokukhawuleza kwaye imithambo yakho inciphe.

Iziphumo zentliziyo kunye nemithambo yegazi zibandakanya:

• uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu
• izinga eliphezulu lentliziyo
• umthamo wegazi ophezulu
• ukudumba ngakumbi noxinzelelo

Ezi ziphumo zonyusa umngcipheko weengxaki zentliziyo.

Uphando olwenziwa ngo-2010 olupapashwe kwi-American Journal ye-Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine lubonise ukuba ukulala nokuphefumula kunokunyusa umngcipheko we-stroke kabini okanye kathathu.

Uphononongo olwenziwa ngo-2007 kwiSikolo iYale School of Medicine lumkisa ukuba ukuphefumla xa ubuthongo kunokunyusa amathuba okuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo okanye ukufa ngeepesenti ezingama-30 kwisithuba seminyaka emine ukuya kwemihlanu.

Ngokwe-2013 yophando kwi-Journal ye-American College ye-Cardiology, abantu abane-apnea yokulala banomngcipheko ophezulu wokufa ngenxa yeengxaki zentliziyo. Uphononongo lufumene ukuba i-apnea yokulala inokunyusa umngcipheko wokufa ngesiquphe kwentliziyo.

Oku kunokwenzeka kakhulu ukuba:

• badala kwiminyaka engama-60 ubudala
• unezigigaba ezingama-20 okanye nangaphezulu zokuphefumla ngeyure yokulala
• baneqondo legazi leoksijini elingaphantsi kweepesenti ezingama-78 ngexesha lokulala

Ngokutsho kovavanyo luka-2011 lwezonyango, ukuya kuma-60 ekhulwini abantu abanesifo senhliziyo nabo banesifo sokulala. Abantu abadala kolu phando ababephathwa ngenxa yokuphefumla xa belala babenokuphucuka kokuphila iminyaka emibini kunabo babengekho. Ukulala kwe-apnea kunokubangela okanye kubangele iimeko zentliziyo.

I-National Sleep Foundation ithi abantu abane-apnea yokulala kunye ne-atrial fibrillation (isigqi senhliziyo esingaqhelekanga) banamathuba angama-40 kuphela okufuna unyango lwentliziyo xa zombini iimeko ziphathwa.

Ukuba i-apnea yokulala ihlala inganyangwa, ithuba lokufuna unyango olungaphezulu kwi-fibrillation ye-atrial iya kwiipesenti ezingama-80.

Olunye uphando eYale ludibanisa i-apnea yokulala kunye nohlobo lwe-2 yeswekile. Kufumanise ukuba abantu abadala abane-apnea yokulala babenomngcipheko ophindwe kabini wokufumana isifo seswekile xa kuthelekiswa nabantu abangenabo ubuthongo bokulala.

Iindlela zokuphefumla zokulala

Kukho iintlobo ezintathu eziphambili zokuphefumula kokulala:

• Ukulala iimpawu zokuphefumla

  Zonke iintlobo zokuphefumla kokulala zineempawu ezifanayo. Unokufumana:

  • ukukhwaza kakhulu
  • unqumama ekuphefumleni
  • Ukurhona okanye ukukhefuzela
  • umlomo owomileyo
  • umqala obuhlungu okanye ukukhohlela
  • Ukuphuthelwa okanye ubunzima bokulala
  • isidingo sokulala uphakamisa intloko
  • iintloko xa uvuka
  • ukudinwa emini kunye nokulala
  • ukucaphuka noxinzelelo
  • utshintsho lweemvakalelo
  • iingxaki zememori

  Ngaba unokulala nokuphefumla ngaphandle kokurhona?

  Olona phawu lwaziwayo lokuphefumla ubuthongo erhona xa ulele. Nangona kunjalo, asinguye wonke umntu olala umphefumlo wokuphefumla olalayo. Ngokufanayo, ukurhona akusoloko kuthetha ukuba une-apnea yokulala. Ezinye izinto ezibangela ukurhona zibandakanya usulelo lwesono, ukuxinana kwempumlo, kunye neetoni ezinkulu.

  
  

  Ukulala unyango lwe-apnea

  Unyango lwe-apnea yokulala ethintelayo isebenza ngokugcina umoya wakho uvulekile xa ulele. Isixhobo sonyango esinikezela ngokuqhubekayo uxinzelelo lwe-airway (CPAP) lunceda ukuphatha i-apnea yokulala.

  Ngelixa uleleyo, kuya kufuneka unxibe imaski ye-CPAP edityaniswe nge-tubing kwisixhobo esisebenzayo. Isebenzisa uxinzelelo lomoya ukugcina indlela yakho yomoya ivulekile.

  Esinye isixhobo esinxibayo se-apnea yokulala sisinye esihambisa uxinzelelo lwe-bilevel yomoya (BIPAP).

  Ngamanye amaxesha ugqirha unokucebisa ukuba kwenziwe utyando ukunyanga i-apnea yokulala. Olunye unyango kunye nezilungiso zokuphefumula kokulala zibandakanya:

  • ukunciphisa umzimba
  • ukuyeka ukutshaya (oku kuhlala kunzima, kodwa ugqirha unokwenza isicwangciso sokuyeka esilungele wena)
  • ukuphepha utywala
  • ukuphepha ukulala iipilisi
  • ukunqanda ukuthomalalisa kunye nokuthomalalisa
  • ukwenza umthambo
  • usebenzisa isixhobo sokufudumeza
  • usebenzisa amayeza okuphelisa impumlo
  • ukutshintsha indawo yakho yokulala

  Nini ukubona ugqirha

  Usenokungazi ukuba une-apnea yokulala. Umlingane wakho okanye elinye ilungu losapho linokuqaphela ukuba uyarhona, uyarhona, okanye uyeke ukuphefumla xa ulele okanye uvuke ngequbuliso. Jonga ugqirha ukuba ucinga ukuba unokuba ne-apnea yokulala.

  Xelela ugqirha ukuba uvuka udiniwe okanye unentloko okanye uziva uxinezelekile. Jonga iimpawu ezinjengokudinwa emini, ukozela, okanye ukulala phambi kweTV okanye ngamanye amaxesha. Nokuba i-apnea yokulala kancinci inokuphazamisa ukulala kwakho kwaye ikhokelele kwiimpawu.

  Yise kude

  I-apnea yokulala idibene ngokusondeleyo neemeko ezininzi ezisongela ubomi. Ingabangela okanye ibe mandundu izifo ezinganyangekiyo njengoxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu. I-apnea yokulala ingakhokelela ekufeni kwentliziyo ngequbuliso.

  Ukuba unembali yestroke, isifo sentliziyo, isifo seswekile, okanye esinye isigulo esinganyangekiyo, cela ugqirha wakho ukuba akuvavanyele i-apnea yokulala. Unyango lunokubandakanya ukufunyanwa kwiklinikhi yokulala nokunxiba imaski ye-CPAP ebusuku.

  Ukunyanga i-apnea yakho yokulala kuya kuphucula umgangatho wobomi bakho kwaye kunokukunceda ugcine ubomi bakho.
