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 nights sleep. Sleep
  apnea most often affects older men who are
  overweight.

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
  doesnt 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.

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.
