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.

Researcher's say that interestingly people who did not engage in poor eating habit also had hypertension.

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.

High blood pressure can also be formed through long term medication that a person takes for depression.

Based on these factors, there is a link between depression and high blood pressure.

High blood pressure result of depression:

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

Here again, we see that in the effort to solve one issue, another is created.

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 drinking and in best case avoid drinking. Even after a single drink blood pressure can increase for some people.

Don't smoke. Cigarette smoking as we all know contributes to a number of problems including high blood pressure.

Eat properly. The body requires good nutrition to function well. This can also assist with weight control.

Other options are my all natural High Blood Pressure Program and Weight Loss Breeze Program. They both really work well.
