Express, based on data from the Australian Institute, indicates that the state of apnea, called the “silent killer”, raises the level of adrenaline, which in turn raises the level of blood pressure, and thus increases the risk of heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, heart failure and stroke. Also, people with moderate or severe sleep apnea have an increased risk of developing diabetes, mood disorders, depression, headache, erectile dysfunction, memory and concentration.
Apnea is the cessation of respiratory movements. It can also be noticed when the blood lacks carbon dioxide as it happens in the case of excessive mechanical ventilation of the lungs.
And sleep apnea is a separate form characterized by the suspension of ventilation of the lungs during sleep for a period of more than 10 seconds and usually lasts 20-30 seconds and in severe cases up to 2-3 minutes, and this is equivalent to 60% of the total night sleep period. And when this condition is periodic (10-15 times per hour), sleep apnea syndrome appears, accompanied by sleep disturbance and sleepiness during the day, with poor memory and the ability to work and constant fatigue. There are central obstructive apnea and sleep apnea and their mixed forms.
And it became known earlier, that frequent waking up at night, could be due to malfunctions in the work of some organs of the body, including the thyroid gland, respiratory tracts, and heart and blood vessels.
Experts advise seeing a doctor if a person wakes up at night several times more than three times a week over a period of several months. As well as when snoring daily.
