Is There A Connection Between High Blood Pressure And Depression?
Jokingly a customer of the high blood pressure program recently asked me if there could possible be a link between hypertension and depression.
Research does say that there is link between the two hypertension leading to depression as well as depression leading to high blood pressure.
Depression as the Primary and Hypertenstion as the result: People suffering from chronic depression or other anxiety are up to three times more likely to also develop high blood pressure.
People with depression are more likely to over eat, smoke and drink too much. And are less likely to take treatment.
People who did not engage in poor eating habits, smoking etc. also suffered from high blood pressure. This is evident through the study
Therefore, researchers have concluded that change in hormones due to anxiety and depression can be a huge factor in causing high blood pressure.
Medications taken for depression may also result in high blood pressure.
Based on these studies we can confirm that there is a link between high blood pressure and depression.
Now we'll look at hypertension as the initial issue.
In the labels of many medications one can see that one of the side effects most of them have is DEPRESSION. So the major reason for depression is the medication we take for high blood pressure.
So it causes to many problems when you try to solve a problem in a wrong way.
Even though the person who asked about depression is just joking, the anxiety does exist in knowing the conditions.
Stress shows up again and again as at least a contributor if not the cause of many problems. It really is no surprise that hypertension and depression can also result from it.
Certain practices can help high blood pressure regardless of the cause:
Don't drink to excess. In fact, some people see a spike in blood pressure after just a drink or two, and in those cases drinking is not recommended at all.
Smoking is also a contributor of high blood pressure.
The food that should be first on your list is vegetables and fruits.
I have developed several natural health programs. Natural blood pressure exercise program and weight loss breeze - which uses simple exercises to increase the oxygen level in the body and improve metabolism.
