A member asked:

Does drinking water before bed really help prevent a heart attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't count on it: No, it doesn't. What is your risk? Family history? Bad cholesterol? Looks like you're not diabetic and don't smoke. Nope, no data to suggest drinking water before bed reduces risk of heart attack.
