I went to the hospital for a check-up today. The reason was this: a few days ago, I suddenly woke up suffocating in my sleep, then gasped for breath, feeling dizzy and with a tight chest.

Actually, I've had these symptoms before, such as when lying flat, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, and having to sleep on my side. But the symptoms weren't that serious. A few days ago, I almost suffocated to death.

So, afraid, I went to the hospital early in the morning to register. After diagnosis, it was "Sleep Apnea Syndrome." The cause is the enlargement of the tonsils and uvula, blocking the respiratory tract.

This disease, well, it's not a big deal because it's very common and many people have it. But it's not a small deal either, because it may lead to: May I be reborn in my dreams! (No kidding!)

Furthermore, this disease can lead to poor sleep quality, long-term brain hypoxia, leading to poor concentration, decreased memory, decreased energy, and daytime sleepiness.

This explains why my updates have been difficult in the second half of the year. I said before that I felt like my brain wasn't working well, and my energy was declining sharply. Writing a chapter felt like a labor of love.

At that time, I didn't know the reason. I only knew that it might be due to long-term熬夜 and lack of exercise. Now I know that this sleep apnea syndrome is largely to blame.

I'm not shifting blame or playing the victim. After all, I've been updating at a single, faster pace for half a year. It's meaningless to play the victim at this time, and I'm not someone who likes to play the victim. Lao Fu has always relied on strength since his debut. I rarely even ask for monthly tickets—a torrent of mud and rock in the online literature world.

Today, I'm reporting my physical condition because I've unlocked an important reason for the slow updates. Also, I want to prove that I'm not just slacking off. My body really has problems. I'm clearing my name, and I hope my fathers understand me.

Currently, there is no immediate cure for this disease, unless you have surgery. However, if I have surgery, first of all, The Way of the Extraordinary will have to pause updates, and the surgery may not be effective, may recur, and the recovery period lasts up to a month.

I am still very wary of surgery.

Conservative treatment is to lose weight and do tongue exercises every day, which is to repeatedly lick the tip of the nose and move the tongue left and right. If you persist for a long time, it will be relieved.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that this disease will have a great impact on my career, so I've been licking the tip of my nose every day, although my tongue is not long enough to reach it...

That's all!
