Alcohol can choose from several links to promote the occurrence of apnea, such as the inhibitory effect of alcohol on the nerve can reduce the upper airway dilator activity. Apnea patients, the blood oxygen content decreased, carbon dioxide levels rise, this change can improve the upper airway dilator activity. The alcohol and a decrease of the upper airway dilator response to low oxygen and high carbon dioxide, thereby promote the occurrence of upper airway obstruction. Sleep apnea patients often hold back awake, this is actually a protective effect for patients, since choke after waking may terminate apnea and resume normal breathing. Alcohol can increase awareness of response thresholds, suppression choke awake situation, to extend the apnea time. Clinical observations also indicate that alcohol makes a simple snorers apnea occurs, so that apnea patients sicker.
