Signs & Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Snoring

Snoring and other sleep issues such as sleep apnea or insomnia have been shown to have a direct association with cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks. In sleep apnea, you have to wake up in each episode to gasp for air, which leads to inconsistent sleeping patterns and puts more stress on your heart. Also, this condition might cause arrhythmia or high blood pressure, heart failure, and stroke. Another disorder called OSA or obstructive sleep apnea might cause obesity and overweight, two main causes of heart diseases. There are many ways to deal with these health issues, so consult your doctor for the best option. [3]
