Poor Sleep May Make Hypertension Worse
Dear Reader,
Trouble sleeping is hard on anyone, but some new research finds that those with high blood pressure who aren't getting good quality sleep are two times as likely to have resistant hypertension as patients who sleep better. In fact, quality instead of duration of sleep appears to be the most important factor in terms of high blood pressure that's resisting treatment. This finding comes from work on more than 230 subjects, average age 58, who had been diagnosed with high blood pressure. Most of the participants slept six or fewer hours each night, and women scored much higher on measure of poor sleep than did men.
Today almost 75 million Americans have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, and 50 million are taking anti-hypertensive medications to treat their condition. Unfortunately, medications cannot always do the job, and some cases of hypertension do not respond to treatment. Hypertension is officially considered resistant if you're taking three (or more) high blood pressure medications and continue to have a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg.
Because of the risks to the heart, resistant hypertension is a serious concern.
Until now, no one had made the connection via research between poor sleep quality and the severity of high blood pressure, though there are more than a few studies that show a relationship between high blood pressure risk and insomnia and short sleep duration according to study author Rosa Maria Bruno who is a doctoral student and research fellow at the Institute of Clinical Physiology-National Council of Research in Italy. The results of the work suggest that insomnia in patients with resistant high blood pressure, particularly if that patient is a woman, could be important to the clinical picture and should not be overlooked by doctors.
In the female subjects, poor quality of sleep was strongly related not only to resistant high blood pressure, but anxiety and depression as well. This wasn't true for men. And the difference remained, even after the team accounted for other factors. In women, poor quality of sleep was linked to a fivefold increased in the probability that she would also have resistant hypertension.
While the study didn't look to the reasons why bad sleep might be connected with resistant high blood pressure, it did show that sleep and heart disorders are linked. We also know that sleep problems are tied to diabetes and obesity, and these conditions do contribute to the ability of the body to resist the effects of blood pressure lowering medications.

Poor Sleep May Make Hypertension Worse Continued...
Of course living with a chronic condition, such as high blood pressure that's resisting efforts to be treated, is a significant stressor and might also be impacting the quality of sleep. All the more reason for people, especially those dealing with a chronic condition like high blood pressure, to practice healthy sleep habits, and make getting rest more of a priority in a hectic life.
Denying yourself good quality sleep robs your body of the chance to rest hardworking organs that are constantly under stress from our modern, ultra-scheduled, always-on world, and over time this makes them vulnerable to malfunction. What's more, being regularly sleep deprived affects you every day - sapping your energy, affecting your ability to concentrate as well as your mood and tolerance for common irritations or setbacks.
The research on sleep and resistant hypertension was presented at the American Heart Association's High Blood Pressure Research 2012 Scientific Sessions held in Washington, D.C.
To your good health,
