Sleep apnea = higher blood pressure risks

Posted on May 24th 2007 1:00PM by Brian White
Suffering from sleep apnea? I would venture to guess that you discovered it from waking yourself up at night or by your spouse or partner waking you up based on noise. What to do? Visit your doctor and see what the cause could be.

Don't let sleep apnea slip under your health radar -- and to further that point, new research states that the condition can lead to a higher risk of diabetes and high blood pressure during pregnancy. Females, pay attention to this.

With obesity being a main cause of sleep apnea these days, this is yet another good reason to find a way to reduce your weight while maintaining a lifestyle to keep those extra pounds off.
