More people than ever use medications to bring their blood pressure under control.
Yet, the number of deaths caused by high blood pressure-related diseases have increased 62% in the last 13 years. This is according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The researchers went over national cause-of-death data files and noted every time hypertension was mentioned.
Interestingly, the increase in deaths was not due to rise in heart attack and stroke, diseases most often connected to high blood pressure. It was cancer, type 2 diabetes, and other diseases that have been linked to high blood pressure that caused the biggest part of the rise.
But what this analysis also shows is that forcing down blood pressure using medications does not necessarily help prevent diseases caused by high blood pressure.
A better solution is to use diet and lifestyle changes to improve your overall health and lower blood pressure. Most people can drastically improve their blood pressure using simple lifestyle changes.

How did they prove that the high blood pressure caused death as opposed to being present as a feature?
Another scare tactic. I don’t believe medication is the answer because all medication does is cause a series of other problems. I’m tired of these researchers taking a group of people, put them is some sort of study and then make a blanket statement based on that group. High blood pressure is a kidney issue. It doesn’t necessarily have a lot to due with sodium intake. Type!! DB is a lifestyle issue. I don’t trust the CDC and I don’t trust governmental agencies that are suppose to look out for the populus. Government needs to take responsibility for the ills …and I mean that literally, of our society. They allow toxic chemicals (BPAS, BPS’, pesticides, flouride….I could go on for ever) to infiltrate into our water and food and air supply and then they spend millions on research to figure out why so many people get cancer! What a joke!
I couldn’t agree more! I have Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism. I am very affected by all the toxins in our world today. Something has got to be done. I believe most all our illnesses come from all these toxins entering our bodies. Also big pharma has taken over our system due to greed. Natural medicine cures the problem not treat the system. I could go on and on I am so furious with the entire system. I am trying to educate myself so I may help others!
I do not think that it is the high blood pressure that causes diabetes. Instead I think the American public has been suckered into taking high blood pressure medication when maybe the blood pressure is OK. one of the big side effects of high blood pressure medication is high blood sugar and diabetes. My blood sugar was fine prior to taking high blood pressure medication and then I was put on a very high dose of high blood pressure medication and my blood sugar went sky rocketing high. It went up to 503. I kept forgetting to take the high blood pressure medicine later and went back down to an average of 142. I did a lot of research a lot of reading into this and then research out there to suggest that high blood pressure medication disables the body's ability to regulate sugar in the body. I'm no longer on any medications I have also come to find out but over the last 50 years proximately markers for high blood pressure cholesterol high blood sugar have been lowered and lowered to the point now that American over the age of 50 is a prescription drug. one prescription drug leads to a cascade of other problems. the diabetic medication cost me to have arthritis and so many other problems. I stuck with these problems through natural main and now I'm fine.
