The heart to beat harder and faster to increase the level of oxygen, which leads to a premature heart conditions. "
These increases in blood pressure may also lead to stroke, Licari added.
"There are many options for treatment. One is the most common is consistently positive Airway pressure (CPAP), the pressure is a force for respiratory passages, to enable them to remain open, to maintain healthy sleep Licari, "he said.
Various masks are available to allow for a good "fit" so there are no leaks which helps to maintain the right air pressure. It is important to note air pressure changes to individual Licari added.

"This activity is reviewed for the diagnosis," says Licari, treatment options for the condition to then be established ".
