The Link Between Sleep Apnea and Heart Rhythm Disorders
In my latest blog post, I explored the connection between sleep apnea and heart rhythm disorders. It turns out that sleep apnea, characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep, can lead to serious health complications - particularly heart rhythm disorders like atrial fibrillation. This is due to the decreased oxygen levels in the blood and increased stress on the heart caused by sleep apnea. It's essential to be aware of the symptoms and seek treatment if you suspect you have sleep apnea, as it could prevent potential heart problems. Remember, prioritizing sleep quality is not only essential for feeling rested, but also for maintaining a healthy heart.
