The Link Between Hypertension and Depression

By Christian Goodman

Someone asked me recently about depression treatment. He purchased the High Blood Pressure Program and jokingly asked if he could be depressed from it.

Many researcher say there is link between two. Hypertension leading to depression as well as depression leading to high blood pressure.

Primarily we will look into depression as the basic problem. Researchers say people who suffer from long term depression are also likely to get 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.

Interestingly though, is that the study also involved people who did not engage in poor habits, yet they also suffered from hypertension.

There could be changes in the hormones in a person who suffers from depression for an extended period of time which could increase blood pressure.

Medications for depression can also lead to a small but long term increase to blood pressure.

All these research suggests that there is a link between depression and high blood pressure.

High Blood Pressure as the primary with depression resulting:

Research shows depression is the common side effect of medication that is taken for for high blood pressure.

Here in order to solve one issue we get another issue.

Even though the person was joking who asked about the depression, there is no doubt that anxiety that plays with knowing the hypertensive conditions.

Given that stress is a consistent theme in so many physical problems, there is little wonder that both high blood pressure and depression can result.

Things that helps to lower the high blood pressure:

Limit or avoid drinking. Blood pressure can increase for some after just a single drink.

smoking is injurious to health. As we all know smoking can lead to high blood pressure.

Eating on a regular time will help body get good nutrition. It can help you with weight control and lowering of blood pressure.

My programs really work well in controlling blood pressure. They are natural High Blood Pressure Program and Weight Loss Breeze Program.
