Sleep apnea = nafas berhenti 10-60 saat berkali-kali masa tidur. Oxygen darah jatuh → jantung "panik" → adrenalin pump → palpitations. Lebih bahaya: long-term raise tekanan darah + risk AFib + stroke. Sleep apnea = breathing stops 10-60 seconds repeatedly during sleep. Blood oxygen drops → heart "panics" → adrenaline pumps → palpitations. Worse: long-term raises blood pressure + AFib + stroke risk.
