High blood pressure develops over time and is a result of unhealthy lifestyle choices such as not getting enough regular physical activity. The rise of hypertension in young people, especially in urban areas, is alarming and a cause for concern because uncontrolled hypertension can have fatal consequences such as heart attack or stroke, and it can also make a person more susceptible to Covid-19, regardless of age.
The most crucial part of sleep in hypertension prevention and management is proper sleep hygiene, which provides a constant pattern of well-rested hours.
Resting on one’s left side is the optimal sleeping position for someone with hypertension because it relieves strain on the blood vessels, allowing the blood to circulate more freely and with less resistance. This is especially true for hypertensive pregnant women.
Insisting that excellent sleep quality is crucial for physical and mental health, as well as enhancing productivity and that sleep apnea and insomnia have an impact on sleep quality. High blood pressure can be exacerbated by sleep apnoea. Although there is no precise position that improves sleep quality or lowers blood pressure, persons with sleep apnoea do benefit by sleeping in a prone position, or on their stomach.
Pregnant women who are concerned about high blood pressure should sleep on their left side. Sleeping on the left side can aid with circulation and prevent high blood pressure since the growing baby presses against the internal organs and can create circulation difficulties. Blood circulates throughout your body before returning to the right side of your heart. When you sleep on your right side, on the other hand, you put a lot of pressure on the blood veins that deliver blood to your heart.
