If you sleep little, badly and for long periods there is a risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Sleep is essential for the well-being of our body.
People with severe insomnia complain of daytime sleepiness, an inability to carry out daily activities, and often anxiety and depression as well.
In this article, we explain why 2 common ailments seriously put the heart at risk.
There are people who suffer from insomnia due to sleep apnea. This is a very common chronic disease that leads to sudden sleep interruptions, caused by shortness of breath. Even if these awakenings do not last long, and generally the person suffering from them does not even remember them, they can occur during the night even dozens of times, and prevent the person from sleeping well.
If we add other pathologies to insomnia, such as diabetes, then the risk to one’s health becomes more serious.
These 2 common ailments seriously put the heart at risk
According to some studies and on the basis of data collected in nine years of observation, those suffering from diabetes and severe insomnia have 87 percent more to die of heart attacks than those without diabetes or sleep problems.
Those who suffer from diabetes but do not have problems with insomnia run a 12 percent lower risk of dying than those who suffer from both diseases.
This research was carried out by several research teams also by scientists from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. This latest study focused on sleep apnea by analyzing 500,000 people.
These have been found to represent a real health problem. Those who suffer from sleep apnea remain without breathing for 10 seconds to over a minute, and then resume breathing.
At the end of each apnea, blood pressure suddenly rises causing a spike in hypertension, and a small awakening. All this negatively affects rest.
Therefore the diabetic has a double cardiovascular risk, if he suffers from sleep apnea (OSAS). According to experts, both pathologies must be addressed, using positive pressure masks for OSAS, and treating diabetes by changing lifestyle, and taking drugs for the prevention of cardiovascular complications.
