Frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom could be an indicator of heart failure, research suggests

If you urinate too much at night, it is a clear sign… 😳
Details in first comment!!

While waking up during the night for a bathroom visit every now and then isn’t uncommon, doing it often may suggest issues with the heart, according to research.

Nighttime trips to the bathroom more than once due to the urge to urinate are known as nocturia.

Some of the known causes for this condition are diabetes and an enlarged prostate.

However, it can also be related to certain heart diseases, particularly heart failure, when the heart is unable to pump blood around the body properly.

According to NHS, heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, doesn’t mean the heart has stopped working, it suggests it needs support to help it work better. It is a long-time condition that gets worse over time and can affect everyone, regardless of age.

A recent research conducted in Japan with 1,882 participants revealed that 1,295 of them got up to pee at least once per night, on average. Researchers linked them to a 40 percent greater chance of having hypertension.

It is important to note, however, that hypertension is also related to the excessive consumption of sodium, found in salt, and Japanese people consume around 10 grams a day, which is 6 grams more than people from other countries.

Excessive salt consumption and high blood pressure are key factors that lead to cardiovascular diseases, heart failure, and stroke.

Other researches suggest that the link between frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom and heart failure is more complex than this. The reason why is because nocturia results in waking up during the night, which affects a person’s ability to get a good, restorative night’s sleep. Having said that, there are studies that link poor sleep with an increase in heart disease, as well as other problems like diabetes and even obesity.

If you suffer from nocturia, consult a doctor.
