1. Get Checked For Sleep Apnea

Getting a good nights rest is important on a lot of levels. If you’re experiencing symptoms while sleeping such as: loud snoring or waking with a sensation like you’re choking or gasping then you may have sleep apnea. The most common condition is obstructive sleep apnea, in which your throat muscles relax, resulting in a stoppage of breathing.

 When you stop breathing, your body has to work harder to find oxygen for your body which adds to the risk of hypertension. If you are having daytime symptoms such as: mood swings, head aches, forgetfulness or general fatigue, book yourself in at a sleep clinic to get checked for sleep apnea.
