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.
First, we'll look at depression as the initial problem. Research shows that people who suffer long term depression are two to three times as likely to also develop hypertension.
It is also important to note that many times a person experiencing depression may also be more likely to have poor eating habits, smoke and or drink. Those things can contribute to the high blood pressure. In addition, those suffering from depression tend not to stay on top of the monitoring and/or treatment of high blood pressure.
More surprisingly though is that the people in the study who ate propertly and did not smoke also experienced high blood pressure.
Changes in hormones as a result of chronic depression or anxiety may be responsible or partially responsible for the hypertension.
Also worth noting is that many drugs prescribed to treat depression can result in a slight increase in blood pressure.
Given these factors, there is a link between depression and high blood pressure.
High Blood Pressure as the primary with depression resulting:
The link here tends to lead back to the high blood pressure medication. The side effects clearly state on many medications: DEPRESSION.
Here again, we see that in the effort to solve one issue, another is created.
And although the person who asked about depression was half joking, there is not doubt anxiety that goes along with knowing the hypertensive condition exists.
It is not a big surprise given the effects of stress, that depression and hypertension can both result.
The normal good health practices still make sense in dealing with hypertension.
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.
Don't smoke. Cigarette smoking as we all know contributes to a number of problems including high blood pressure.
Eat well. Choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to help the body improve stamina and control weight.
I also strongly suggest trying my High Blood Pressure Program and Weight Loss Breeze Program. Both are completely natural ways to lower blood pressure and lose weight.
