What Causes High Blood Pressure?
4. Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that affects people when they are trying to sleep. It tends to happen in obese people, but not always, and it happens when bodily tissues block the passage of air in and out of the mouth. This will mean the patient is unable to breathe, and this will cause them to wake up.
The condition can cause further complications for the patient. For example, not being able to get enough sleep can mean that the patient struggles to perform in their social and professional lives. It can also lead to other health complications developing, one of which is a high blood pressure.
