Some patients with OSA are at an even higher risk of cardiovascular problems because of a phenomenon called “reverse dipping” that causes blood pressure to rise rather than lower during sleep.

Very interesting article 2 greys. I found out a few months ago that I have a fast resting heart rate and wonder if this is connected. I did ask at the hospital about sleep apnea but after the doctor checked a few questions from the computer he said no, I will get this checked again when I have the opportunity. Thanks for posting x
