Why It Happens

Men may experience blood pressure spikes due to lifestyle stress, undiagnosed sleep apnea, or early-onset cardiovascular issues. Male hormones and habits play a key role.

Sleep Apnea and Snoring: Common in men, apnea disrupts oxygen and elevates blood pressure overnight.

Work Stress and Cortisol: Chronic tension from long hours or overwork contributes to sympathetic overdrive.

Heavy Alcohol or Salt Intake: Common dietary triggers that amplify vascular reactivity.

Low Testosterone: Hormonal imbalance can affect vascular tone and fat distribution.

Infrequent Checkups: Men may delay testing, allowing issues to progress silently.

How to Manage

Screen for Sleep Apnea: If you snore or feel tired, get a sleep study.

Manage Stress Proactively: Exercise, mindfulness, or hobbies improve nervous system tone.

Reduce Alcohol and Processed Meats: Both drive inflammation and salt intake.

Get Routine Labs: Check testosterone, cholesterol, and glucose annually.

Track Your Pressure: A wrist or arm cuff at home can uncover early problems.

For men, awareness and lifestyle upgrades are key to long-term heart protection.
