Sleep apnea often causes people to snore and stop breathing in episodes during sleep, leading to an increased risk of heart attack or atrial fibrillation, a type of heart rhythm disorder.

Losing leg hair can be a sign that your blood vessels are constricting, reducing blood flow to your legs, leaving your legs deprived of oxygen. Without nutrition from the blood, the hair follicles cannot grow.

When the heart can’t pump blood effectively, the blood vessels constrict, pushing excess fluid into the tissues, leading to swelling caused by fluid retention in the feet, legs, and abdomen.

Neck or jaw pain can be an early sign of angina, a cardiovascular problem caused by a lack of oxygen in the heart.
