How does obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affect the heart?

If you snore and have OSA, chances are your heart is being greatly stressed. Studies show that habitual snorers have a greater chance of stroke than non-snorers and an increased chance of death from this. It is not unusual for those with sleep apnea to be mistakenly treated for primary heart disease because cardiac arrhythmias may be more prominent than the breathing disturbances.

When breathing stops during the apneas, your heart rate and level of oxygen also drop, you pump less blood out and your blood pressure increases. When breathing resumes, your heart rate and blood pressure rise, sometimes to very dangerous levels. These problems are lessened when treatment begins to correct the snoring and OSA.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
