Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Two Sleep Issues Multiply Your Cardiovascular Risks Wait—this isn’t just about feeling tired the next day. A new peer-reviewed study by sleep researchers at Yale School of Medicine, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows that veterans with both insomnia and sleep apnea face dramatically higher cardiovascular risks. Researchers followed nearly 1 million U.S. veterans receiving care through the Veterans Health Administration. Here’s what they found: • People with both insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea have more than a 2 fold higher risk of developing hypertension. • Their risk of cardiovascular disease is nearly 4× higher. • Having both sleep disorders is far more dangerous than having either one alone. • The increased risk appears in both men and women. Why this matters for you: Millions of people think poor sleep is just annoying, but untreated sleep disorders may quietly raise your risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. What are the signs of disordered sleep? Loud snoring that wakes your partner, waking up gasping, or repeated problems falling asleep. If this sounds like you, speak with your medical team about sleep and cardiovascular evaluations The references for this report are available on my website. #SleepApnea #Insomnia #HeartHealth #SleepScience #Hypertension"
