"Why Do I Suddenly Exhale Loudly and Wake Up in My Sleep? What Should I Do?"

Waking up with a sudden sigh during sleep may be caused by excessive mental stress, rhinitis, nasal polyps, and other reasons. Generally, it is necessary to visit the hospital for examination and then receive targeted treatment. Here are the details:

1. Excessive Mental Stress: If one is in a state of tension and anxiety for a long time in daily life or has done heavy physical activities during the day, they usually enter a state of light sleep before going to bed, during which the body and mind relax to some extent. Within this period, a sudden sigh may occur, which is a normal phenomenon and will gradually improve over time.

2. Rhinitis: This is a common disease in otolaryngology, mainly related to allergies or bacterial infections. It is accompanied by nasal obstruction, causing respiratory distress. The symptoms can be alleviated by cleaning the nasal cavity with physiological sodium chloride solution.

3. Nasal Polyps: Obvious nasal polyps can also affect respiration, accompanied by the above symptoms. In severe cases, surgical removal via minimally invasive surgery is required as soon as possible. Nasal polyps are also related to factors such as sinusitis, tonsillar hypertrophy, and nasal septum deviation, which require targeted treatment according to the causes.
