MU Researchers Identify Potential Cause of High Blood Pressure in Sleep Apnea Patients.

[2greys]

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. Most people experience lower blood pressure at night. Now, University of Missouri School of Medicine researchers have found a potential cause for reverse dipping that may help patients with OSA get the help they need before cardiovascular disease develops.

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
