❌ Common Misconceptions
“It’s just my prostate”
While common in men, nocturia affects women too — and heart links exist regardless of gender

years before diagnosis
Final Thoughts
Waking up to use the bathroom might seem like a minor annoyance — but your body could be sending a silent message about your heart.
And the sooner you listen, the better your chances of preventing serious complications.
So if you’re making frequent midnight bathroom runs, don’t just blame your bladder.
Think about your heart.
Because sometimes, the earliest warning signs come not with pain — but with a quiet trip down the hallway.
