Sleep apnea often comes with high blood pressure, which, in turn, contributes to the heart-health risks tied to both conditions. Now, scientists have pinpointed two brain chemicals that play a role in this chain reaction and could pave the way for new therapies. In a...

What causes sleep apnea? Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of your throat relax more than normal, obstructing the path of air to go down the air passage. This obstructed breathing leads to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the body and a reduction in blood oxygen le...
Results High risk of sleep apnea appeared to be associated positively with SBP ( 尾 =6.77, 95% CI: 0.0013.53), but not with DBP. The association was positive for hypertension, but it was not statistically significant (PR=1.11, 95% CI: 0.871.41). We did not find effect modification of...
Children with obstructive sleep apnea are nearly three times more likely to develop high blood pressure when they become teenagers than children who never experience sleep apnea, according to a new study funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Inst
High blood pressure Stroke Daytime sleepiness Congestive heart failureheart Mood disorders In the presence of the conditions above, sleep apnea is defined as an apnea-hypopnea index of at least five episodes/hour. This definition is stricter because these individuals may be already experiencing the ne...
One of the most significant health risks associated with sleep apnea is high blood pressure. The repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep can cause a spike in blood pressure, putting strain on the cardiovascular system. Over time, this can increase the risk of developing heart disease and...
In addition to symptom relief, sleep apnea treatment can also help patients reduce their risk of developing heart problems and dying prematurely.Sleep Apnea and Cardiovascular DisordersBecause sleep apnea causes you to stop breathing during the night, patients with the condition have a higher risk of...
There has also been speculation that sleep apnea functions would also be added. Unfortunately, Apple may have encountered too many issues to actually introduce the features in its 2024 generations. Apple's work on measuring instances of high blood pressure, known as hypertension, h...
