If you sleep on your stomach or on your left side, you are putting pressure on your heart with the extra body weight, while the heart must continue pumping blood as usual.
This additional burden wears the heart out more quickly. Think about it- you spend more than 1/3 of your life sleeping! To reduce the strain on your heart, sleep on your right side or on your back. This simple technique will add years to your life.
Eastern Oklahoma Medical Center provides quality care through commitment and compassion.
EOMC is located at 105 Wall Street in Poteau, OK
