Answer to the Question of the Week
Julie,
It has been shown that certain sleep disorders can increase the risk of heart conditions. In particular, it is estimated that up to 50% of those who have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) also suffer from high blood pressure. It is strongly believed that OSA also increases the risk for stroke and cardiac abnormalities.
