Symptom #6: Frequent Nighttime Urination (Nocturia)
What It Feels Like
- Waking up multiple times to urinate
- Poor sleep due to bathroom trips
Why It Matters
After 40, frequent nighttime urination may be associated with:
- High blood pressure
- Heart and circulation issues
- Poor kidney-vascular signaling
The heart and blood vessels influence how the kidneys regulate fluids at night. Disruption in this system can be an indirect sign of cardiovascular strain.
Why These Symptoms Are Often Ignored
Many people dismiss nighttime symptoms because:
- They disappear by morning
- They don’t cause pain
- They seem like “normal aging”
Unfortunately, strokes often develop silently over years, not suddenly overnight.
