Snoring and Sleep Apnea Link to Blood Pressure
Severe snoring may signal obstructive sleep apnea or OSA. OSA causes brief airway blockages during sleep, triggering adrenaline surges that raise heart rate and blood pressure. Treating OSA with CPAP in patients with treatment resistant hypertension can modestly lower blood pressure and improve nighttime patterns, though adherence to CPAP varies.
