Could There Be a Link Between High Blood Pressure And Depression?
 |
Someone asked me recently about depression treatment. He purchased the High Blood Pressure Program and jokingly asked if he could be depressed from it.
Research does reflect a link between the two. Both ideas have been studied; hypertension leading to depression as well as depression leading to high blood pressure.
If you suffer from anxiety or chronic depression, you’re three times more likely to develop high blood pressure than if you don’t.
Also worth noting is that it is thought that people suffering from depression are more likely to engage in other contributors such as smoking, drinking and over eating. People suffering from depression are also less likely consistently treat hypertension.
But as strange as it may seem. Even people suffering depression that lived otherwise healthy live, also were more likely to suffer high blood pressure.
What’s the main cause of hypertension for people suffering depression is a change in hormones.
Medications for depression can also lead to a small but long term increase to blood pressure.
We can therefore definitely conclude there is a link between high blood pressure and depression.
Now lets see how hypertension can cause depression.
The link here tends to lead back to the high blood pressure medication. The side effects clearly state on many medications: DEPRESSION.
This shows us clearly how often trying to solve one issue actually creates another.
Although the person initially was kind of joking, it’s no question he was right assuming there may be a connection between the two conditions.
We know very well that stress is the cause of so many different conditions. It’s therefore no surprise that it also causes high blood pressure and depression.
Methods that can help lower blood pressure – and it doesn’t matter what causes it:
Avoid too much alcohol consumption. It depends from person to person how much you can drink. Sometimes blood pressure sky rocks after only one or two drinks. If that’s the case, people shouldn’t drink at all.
If you smoke, quit as soon as possible. Hypertension among many other things that smoking causes.
Eat well. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to help the body improve stamina and control weight.
I have created several natural health guides. Including my natural blood pressure exercise program and weight loss breeze – which uses simple exercises to increase the oxygen level in the body and improve metabolism.
