I've been asked about a possible link between depression and high blood pressure.
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.
Depression as the original problem: A person who has suffered long term depression or other anxiety disorders is much more likely to develop high blood pressure.
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.
More surprisingly though is that the people in the study who ate propertly and did not smoke also experienced high blood pressure.
It is believed that there may be changes in the hormones in a person who suffers from depression for an extended period of time which could increase blood pressure.
There is also evidence that blood pressure can rise slightly as a result of many anti-depressant medications.
Given these factors, there is a link between depression and high blood pressure.
Let's looks at the reverse - hypertension as the primary issue with depression or anxiety as an effect.
The link here tends to be the result of the high blood pressure medication. Many side effects including depression occur with those medicines.
Here again, we see that in the effort to solve one issue, another is created.
Also a possible contributor is the anxiety caused from a person having to deal with high blood pressure.
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.
Practices that can help high blood pressure regardless of teh cause:
Limit or avoid drinking. Blood pressure can increase for some after just a single drink.
Do not smoke. Smoking create many problems including increased blood pressure.
Eat properly. The body requires good nutrition to function well. This can also assist with weight control.
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.
