Heartburn Quit Smoking
do i have hypertension as well as sleep apnea?
Ok so I am an obesed man 292lbs 6ft3 and age 25, I have obstructive sleep apnea. I am wondering if I have hypertension as well or not or if I am borderlined hypertension. so here it goes:
My average blood pressure reading is 140/90 occasionaly I will experience nausea and throw up an average of maybe 4 days in a month, as well as once in a while I will have heartburn. I have heartburn generally 2xs a month. The last time I had my blood tested my bad chloestral was about 20 points too high.
Last year my granpa died of natural causes in his sleep (his heart stopped beating and he had some heart issues durin his life).
So do you think I might have hypertension? also my dr. never said I had it or not. so he recomended me to go on a diet, so I started weight watchers when I was 301.4 lbs and now I weigh today at 292.4.
any advice? and also I am in the process of quitting smoking.
Hi Brandt,
I'm not your doctor to tell you that you have hypertension, but I know one thing for sure: high blood pressure is a common symptom of sleep apnea, next to snoring and apnea episodes.
About 50% of sleep apnea patients are hypertensive, and almost 30% of hypertensive patients also have sleep apnea, often undiagnosed.
If you have sleep apnea, you should be careful when you try to treat hypertension. Recent reports suggest that some drugs used for treating high blood pressure symptoms may worsen your sleep disorder, which decreases after discontinuation of the drug.
So, the best solution for a person with sleep apnea, to fight and treat hypertension, is to use CPAP .
I hope it helps!
