Untreated hypertension can lead to death from coronary heart disease in about 50% of patients, stroke in 33%, and kidney failure in 10-15%. Hypertension is a disease whose incidence is increasing year by year and appears to be closely related to sleep disturbances and the use of sleeping pills.

The link between hypertension and sleep

Many patients with hypertension report difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, which is why many resort to sleeping pills.

Effects and risks of sleeping pills

Sleeping pills are currently among the most widely used drugs in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that regular use can lead to serious side effects, especially long-term use.

According to WHO data, people who take sleeping pills, especially benzodiazepines, have a significantly increased risk of premature death. Even taking 18 doses per year increases this risk 3.5-fold. The higher the dose, the greater the risk.

Additionally, sleeping pills have been shown to increase blood pressure. Therefore, the WHO recommends that people who regularly take them consult a doctor to monitor their blood pressure.
