Sleep - The Impact On High Blood Pressure
Are you aware of how sleep may impact your blood pressure?
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Studies have linked high blood pressure and obstructive sleep apnea, a common condition when the airway closes during sleep. If left untreated, this apnea can cause excessive stress on the heart and increase the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack.
Who is at risk?
If you snore, stop breathing during your sleep, feel sleepy during the day or have a history of high blood pressure, you may be at risk. Your doctor can help you with further evaluations including a sleep study.
