Sleep apnea and hypertension are directly proportional

University of Health Sciences (ESU) Erenköy Training and Research on Mental and Neurological Diseases Hospital Supervisor of Sleep Hospital Dr. Saime Füsun Domaç said: "The syndrome of l & # 39; Sleep apnea is 30 percent in hypertensive patients. Dr. Saime Fusun Domaç said that there is a link between hypertension and sleep apnea cases: "Sleep apnea syndrome affects 30% of hypertensive patients, and about half of those who suffer from sleep apnea syndrome are hypertensive.

In the description of domadic, sleep apnea syndrome is characterized by partial or complete narrowing of the upper respiratory tract during sleep and is a common disease

Domaç, who reports that the disease, which causes many hemodynamic and metabolic disorders, "People with sleep apnea syndrome are more likely to suffer from hypertension, diabetes and obesity and have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke.

It is said that sudden deaths in sleep are usually caused by a heart attack triggered by breathing during sleep and that people who have a nocturnal heart attack have 6 times more sleep apnea syndrome than those who suffer a heart attack.

Dr.

"There is a two-way relationship between hypertension and sleep apnea, sleep apnea syndrome is present in 30% of hypertensive patients and about half of those who suffer from sleep apnea syndrome are hypertensive.In patients with sleep apnea, there is no expected blood pressure drop during the night.In the first place, the high blood pressure that occurs produced during sleep begins to develop during the day and hypertension occurs.

Domaç, who stated that the risk of developing hypertension was increased 2-fold in those who had excessive severity of the disease. 39, sleep apnea in research, the person with hypertension

"THE RESISTANT HYPERTENSION IN TIME CAN BE INCREASED"

Assoc. Dr. "In l & # 39; No sleep apnea treatment, hypertext Arterial nsion can not be effectively controlled and can develop resistant hypertension over time, "says Dodac, successful treatment of sleep apnea syndrome and regression of diurnal and nocturnal blood pressure. The resistant hypertension in which the blood pressure can not be controlled to the desired level despite the use of at least 3 drugs against high blood pressure. In a recent study conducted in patients with drug-resistant hypertension, sleep apnea syndrome reached 83%. Determining the causes and controlling the blood pressure reduces the effect of high blood pressure on the arteries, thus reducing both the risk of heart disease and stroke. "

Domaç, who points out that patients with depressive thoughts should be evaluated in terms of sleep apnea syndrome, says that hypertension-resistant patients who snore loudly, wake up with a feeling of night-time clogging, night sweats, tired awakenings or daytime sleepiness is recommended.In patients who have sleep apnea, the treatment of apnea with positive airway pressure has the effect of to control the blood pressure of patients.
