Sleep apnea's subtle link to heart issues unravels in chronic snoring, gasping for air, or daytime fatigue—prompting consideration of a sleep study. Nocturnal sweating, unrelated to the environment, may signal an overburdened heart, potentially due to blockages or weakened muscles. Beyond the usual suspects, frequent urination could be a subtle sign of heart failure, urging attention to the kidneys working overtime. Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) unveils a hidden connection to heart disease, particularly in women. If your legs disrupt your sleep, consult with a physician to decode these nocturnal messages. Nocturnal breathlessness, the drama of waking up short of breath, could be the script of heart failure or arrhythmias, finding relief in an upright position. Pulse rate whispers become evident at night, with consistently high rates at rest possibly pointing to issues with the heart's electrical system.
