  2. Is Sleep Apnea Impacting your Heart Condition? Sleep plays a vital role in almost all aspects of physical health as it provides time for the body to restore and recharge. Insufficient or fragmented sleep caused by sleep apnea can contribute to problems with the cardiovascular system including blood pressure along with a high risk of heart disease, heart attacks, diabetes, and stroke. Quality of sleep decreases the effort of your heart, as blood pressure and heart rate go down at night. If you are sleep-deprived your heart rate is usually elevated instead of fluctuating normally. Lack of sleep may also increase insulin resistance, which is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Recurrent interruptions in-breath deprive the lungs of oxygen and cause significant stress on the body. Sleep apnea leads to a range of serious health complications, including coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and an irregular heartbeat. If left untreated sleep apnea may result in breathing stopping repeatedly during sleep, causing loud snoring and daytime tiredness, even with a full night’s sleep. Sleep apnea most often affects older men who are overweight.

  3. Does Sleep Apnea Lead to Heart Problems? Sleeping problems like sleep apnea leads to sleep deprivation and fragmented sleep causing negative effects on heart health. Sleep is an essential time for the body to build up its strength. The heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, and breathing stabilizes during the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep stages. During the changes in the NREM stage, the stress on the heart is reduced, allowing it to recover from the strain that occurs during waking hours. During insufficient night sleep, your body doesn’t spend enough time in the deep stages of NREM sleep that benefit the heart. This is similar to the problems affecting people whose sleep is frequently interrupted. Chronic sleep deprivation is linked to numerous heart problems including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, obesity, diabetes, and stroke.

  4. Sleep Apnea Is Categorized As Obstructive And Central Obstructive sleep apnea – This is the more commonincludesa airflow occurrence as repetitive episodes of complete or partial upper airway blockage during sleep. The diaphragm and chest muscles work harder due to the increase in pressure to open the airway during an apneic episode and the breathing resumes with a loud gasp or body jerk. This would interfere with sound sleep, reduce the flow of oxygen to vital organs, and cause heart rhythm irregularities. Central sleep apnea - The airway is not blocked but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe due to instability in the respiratory control center. This causes adverse effects on the function of the central nervous system. Get More Details Information Click Here
