Sleep more than 9 hours a day Heart Disease Risk?

Doc, I am a worker who works irregular hours. In my current overtime, I take only 2-3 hours of sleep. But when I got the time off, I used my best to sleep more than 8 hours.

I ask Doc, he said people who sleep duration of more than 9 hours a day could be at risk of heart and blood vessel disease. Why even make me a paranoid Doc. We are the solution. Thank you.

Hello Mr. Malik, Mr. has check beforehand to a specialist heart and cardiac examination?

Regarding the triggering factors of heart disease there are a variety of causes, such as diet and unhealthy lifestyle like staying up late, smoking, as well as the influence of stress, severe stress, depression, high blood pressure, diabetes and high blood sugar, as well as factors rarely exercise.

To know the exact cause, it must be done the heart checkup. You've done the heart checkup? Examination of what you do? If not, I suggest you to do EKH examination, echocardiography, and chest X-rays.

Need to be reminded, sport is the driving factor for your heart healthy, especially your heart rate. Do you often work out? Or rarely? If you rarely exercise, then it would be a very negative impact.

For such a young age you are, smoking, staying up late and rarely exercise can be the most important factor and especially a heart disease. People who rest less be a trigger factor for heart disease, especially coronary heart disease. Due to lack of adequate rest causes high blood pressure. If blood pressure is high, it can trigger a heart attack.

Therefore I suggest you to check medicine specialist heart and do an EKG, echocardiography and chest X-rays.

So I have to say. If you still have questions, you can consult directly with our heart specialists, Yodak Hospital.
