High Blood Medications: The Side Effects

Medical doctors highly recommend people taking high blood pressure medications to reduced their blood pressure. They even warn them about their side effects. However, people should also know that high blood pressure medication may cause serious problems on their body and overall health in the long run. Jay B in Texas had a stroke because of a damage done to his head in an accident. Doctors in the hospital found his blood pressure very high and put him on some strong blood pressure medication (Clonidine). It did bring the blood pressure down but caused him mental confusion and joint pain. At the age 81, Richard A. has been taking blood pressure medication for about 20 years. Recently he was told by his doctor that his kidney is failing him.. He then checked the print on his medication and it read “kidney damage” as a side effect.

The listing of side effects from high blood pressure medicines include: decrease of sex drive, pain, difficult to sleep, vision damage, inflammation, kidney damage, liver damage, stomach pain, constipation, cramping, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, arrhythmia, depressive disorders. Side effects of the hypertension drugs can not only impact your well-being, it will also cause serious damage to your body and health. In the long run, it can cause vision loss, heart, liver and kidney failure, loss of memory, and many more.

For most people, the side effects are not tangible at the beginning. However, medication continues to cause imbalance and damages to their body silently, until one day suddenly a serious illness strikes them down. For people taking diuretics, they must be aware that diuretics can take away potassium from their body. This may lead to chemical imbalance and side effects such as cramping and tiredness. They may need to replenish their body with this mineral by taking potassium supplement. Hypertensive medication does not cure high blood pressure. It is a bandage that only temporarily keeps it at the safe level. If one stops taking medication, one’s blood pressure will go up the very next day. In order to keep it in the healthy range, one needs to take it everyday for the rest of one’s life.

Quite often, after a while, the chosen medication stops working. Doctors have to prescribe different or more medications which may cause even more damage to one’s body, health and well-being. The best way to get high blood pressure under control is through life style changes, such as do meditation, breathing practice, or exercises. Effective natural remedies are also available to help people support their healthy blood pressure without side effect. Some of these natural remedies can work well with medications.

In the cases of Jay and Richard, both of them started to search for better solutions and found that they can get their blood pressure under healthy range naturally and easily with only good side effects.
