| [00:05.25]American scientists say they have found the strongest evidence yet [00:11.96]linking a breathing problem called sleep apnea to high blood pressure. [00:17.32]They published the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. [00:22.94]People with sleep apnea briefly stop breathing while they sleep. [00:28.76]Sleep apnea can cause a tired feeling and head pain. [00:34.61]Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health organized the new study. [00:42.42]It involved more than 6,000 adults. [00:45.35]The researchers found that people who stopped breathing the most during sleep were more likely to have high blood pressure. [00:56.45]Even people with moderate levels of sleep apnea had a higher risk of high blood pressure. [01:04.31]High blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney disease. [01:11.92]Sleep apnea is more common among people who weigh too much. [01:17.51]However, the study found a link between sleep apnea and high blood pressure in people of all weight groups. [01:27.59]Experts say people with high blood pressure who become sleepy during the day should be tested for sleep problems. [01:37.52]It is not clear yet if sleep apnea causes high blood pressure. |
