This is how you can Do....!You try it guys..

Throat exercises to stop snoring

Practiced for 30 minutes a day, throat exercises can be an effective way to reduce or stop snoring. Repeatedly pronouncing certain vowel sounds and curling the tongue in specific ways can strengthen muscles in the upper respiratory tract and thereby reduce snoring.

Try the following exercises to stop snoring. Start slow and gradually increase the number of sets you do. In some cases, you may be able to combine the exercises with other activities, such as commuting to work, walking your dog, working out, or taking a shower.

• Repeat each vowel (a-e-i-o-u) out loud for three minutes a few times a day.
• Place the tip of your tongue behind your top front teeth. Slide your tongue backwards for 3 minutes a day.
• Close your mouth and purse your lips. Hold for 30 seconds.
• With mouth open, move jaw to the right and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat on left side.
• With mouth open, contract the muscle at the back of your throat repeatedly for 30 seconds. Tip: Look in the mirror to see the uvula (“the hanging ball”) move up and down.

Natural cure of snoring!!

 Is snoring causing a rift in your relationship?

       No matter how much you love each other, lack of sleep or poor quality sleep from frequent snoring can strain a relationship as well as put your partner’s health at risk.When snoring is a problem, relationship tension can grow in the following ways:

1. Sleeping alone. If you or your partner snores, you might decide to sleep alone. That only makes for a lack of physical intimacy and a strained relationship. And if you’re the one snoring, you might feel lonely, isolated, and frustrated about something you feel you have no control over. 

2. Snoring spats. It’s common to be irritable when lack of sleep is an issue. But try reining in your frustration. Remember, you want to attack the snoring problem—not your sleep partner. 

3.Partner resentment. When a non-snorer feels they do everything possible to sleep through the night (ear-plugs, noise-machines, etc.) but their partner does nothing to combat their own snoring, it can lead to resentment. Working as a team to find a snoring cure can prevent future fights. 

       So guys if you value your relationship, make it your priority to find a snoring cure so you can both sleep soundly. Working together to stop snoring can even be an opportunity to improve the quality of your bond and become more deeply connected. 

Im back...!

Guys I'm here again, its been a week since i updated this blog because of being busy going outside. But you know guiys i have some topic again here, and I hope i can share it to  you.

Do you snore?

            Snoring happens when you can't move air freely through your nose and mouth during sleep. It’s caused by a narrowing of your airway, either from poor sleep posture or abnormalities of the soft tissues in your throat. A narrow airway gets in the way of smooth breathing and creates the sound of snoring.

Common causes of snoring:

• Age. As you reach middle age and beyond, your throat becomes narrower, and the muscle tone in your throat decreases.
• The way you’re built. Men have narrower air passages than women and are more likely to snore. A narrow throat, a cleft palate, enlarged adenoids, and other physical attributes that contribute to snoring are often hereditary.
• Nasal and sinus problems. Blocked airways make inhalation difficult and create a vacuum in the throat, leading to snoring.
• Being overweight or out of shape. Fatty tissue and poor muscle tone contribute to snoring.
• Alcohol, smoking, and medications. Alcohol intake, smoking, and certain medications can increase muscle relaxation leading to more snoring.
• Sleep posture. Sleeping flat on your back causes the flesh of your throat to relax and block the airway.

Guys remember and beware of this:  Is it just snoring or sleep apnea?

      Snoring could indicate sleep apnea, a potentially life-threatening condition that requires medical attention. Sleep apnea is a breathing obstruction, causing the sleeper to keep waking up to begin breathing again. Normal snoring doesn’t interfere with the quality of your sleep as much as sleep apnea, so if you’re suffering from extreme fatigue and sleepiness during the day, your problem may be more than just snoring.

How Much Sleep Do You Need?

Average Sleep Needs
Age	Hours
Newborns (0-2 months)	12 - 18
Infants (3 months to 1 year)	14 - 15
Toddlers (1 to 3 years)	12 - 14
Preschoolers (3 to 5 years)	11 - 13
School-aged children (5 to 12 years)	10 - 11
Teens and preteens (12 to 18 years)	8.5 - 10
Adults (18+) According to the National Institutes of Health, the average adult sleeps less than 7 hours per night. In today’s fast-paced society, 6 or 7 hours of sleep may sound pretty good. In reality, it’s a recipe for chronic sleep deprivation. While sleep requirements vary slightly from person to person, most healthy adults need between 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep per night to function at their best. Children and teens need even more (see box at right). And despite the notion that our sleep needs decrease with age, older people still need at least 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep. Since older adults often have trouble sleeping this long at night, daytime naps can help fill in the gap.	7.5 - 9

  Fear of Failure?

guys just remember this.....

Every failure

 brings with it the 

seed of an

 equivalent success!..

 Believe it!

 

hello guys,..!

i have not yet been post a lot here, because im so busy this day,but you know i have just something to tell about this topic... 

INCREASE INTRA CRANIAL PRESSURE

      Do you know what is this? I will just take an outline out of the books that I've read...

      Increase Intracranial pressure is due to increase in 1 intracranial components.

     Some Predisposing factors are:

• head injury,tumor,localized abscess
• hemmorhage,cerebral edema, hydrocephalus,
• inflammatory conditions like meningitis and encephalitis

   Signs and symptoms are

   a,)change or decrease LOC- it may be restlessness to confusion  

                                              -disorientation to lethargy and stupor to coma.

   b.)Headache- patient can experienced projectile vomitting

                       -Papilledima(edema of optic disk- outer surface of retina.)

                      

   c.)Uncal Herniation-unilatateral dilation of pupil.

       Tentorial herniation-bilateral dilation of pupil

   d.)Possible seizure

GUYS you need to bear in mind that CHANGE IN VITAL SIGNS of the patient is always the LATE SYMPTOMS OF ICP.

• Increased BP-systolic increase, diastole is same
• Decrease HR-
• Decrease RR-you can observe CHEYNE STOKES-between period of apnea or hyperapnea with periods of apnea.
• Increase Temperature

NURSING PRIORITY

A..Maintain patent airway and adequate ventilation.

1. Prevention of hypoxia-(there is decrease tissue oxygenation) and hypercarbia( there is increase in CO2 retention).

• Late symptoms of hypoxia...B-bradycardia                 Early symptoms ...R- restlessness                                                            E-extreme restlessness                                   A-agitatation                                                                D-dyspnea                                                     T- tachycardia

 B..Assist mechanical ventilation.

• maintain patent airway
• monitot v/s and i and o
• elevate head of bed 30-45 degrees, neck in neutral position unless contraindicated to promote venous drainage
• limit fluid intake 1200-1500ml/day
• prevents complication of immobility

C..Prevent increase of icp by:

• maintain quite and comfort environment
• avoid use of restraint because it can lead to fracture
• always siderails up
• instruct patient to avoid the ff:- Valsalva maneuver or bearing down, avoid straining of stool.-give       laxative or stool softener
•                                             -Excessive cough,excessive vomiting and  lifting heavy objects

D. Administered meds ordered.
