Respirar pela boca. Obstrução nasal pode também tornar necessária a respiração oral, o que por si só pode causar apneia obstrutiva. Respirar pela boca pode também aumentar o risco para AOS [apneia obstrutiva do sono] pelos seus efeitos na língua. A língua forma a parede anterior da orofaringe; tanto a postura supina quanto abertura da boca tendem a deslocar a língua posteriormente e promovem o fechamento da via aérea. | |||
