Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension. [2] OSA is prevalent in older adults and should be considered in cases of resistant hypertension, hypertension refractory to appropriate aggressive medical therapy. [3]
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health conditions. Moderate to severe sleep apnea can increase your risk of: High blood pressure. Heart failure. Cardiovascular disease. Stroke. Fatty ...
Sleep apnea (sleep apnoea or sleep apnœa in British English) is a sleep-related breathing disorder in which repetitive pauses in breathing, periods of shallow breathing, or collapse of the upper airway during sleep results in poor ventilation and sleep disruption.
Without treatment, the sleep deprivation and lack of oxygen caused by sleep apnea increases health risks such as cardiovascular disease, aortic disease (e.g. aortic aneurysm), [165] high blood pressure, [166] [167] stroke, [168] diabetes, clinical depression, [169] weight gain, obesity, [66] and even death.
You might only experience high blood pressure symptoms if your blood pressure is very high. Very high blood pressure can cause symptoms like: Nosebleeds. Anxiety. Severe headaches. Chest pain ...
The conditions of hypoxia and hypercapnia, whether caused by apnea or not, trigger additional effects on the body.The immediate effects of central sleep apnea on the body depend on how long the failure to breathe endures, how short is the interval between failures to breathe, and the presence or absence of independent conditions whose effects amplify those of an apneic episode.
Long-term health issues associated with untreated sleep apnea include high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and depression. What is a CPAP machine, and how does it work?
