Blood Pressure Drugs 40% Less Effective Than Tests Show

New medications can’t just go on the market straight away – they need to be put through years of extensive testing first – first in labs, then on animals, and then finally on humans.

If you think that’s it, you’re wrong!

It then has to be FDA approved.

But there is one factor that’s never taken into consideration.

This factor, according to a new Dutch study published in the journal Hypertension, makes all blood pressure drugs 40% less effective than the official tests show.

Researchers tested participants compliance with their drug regimes. They found that 20% of people didn’t take their prescribed medicines and a further 20% only took some of them.

The misuse of these drugs means they have no effect.

But there’s a good reason why people are ditching the drugs.

Diuretics lower your blood pressure by removing fluid from your arteries. But they also dehydrate you, make you thirsty and fatigued.

Beta-blockers block the effects of norepinephrine and epinephrine, and therefore cause your heart to beat slower and with less force. They also cause dizziness, fatigue, and impotence.

ACE inhibitors dilate and relax your blood vessels, lowering blood pressure. But they also cause headaches, fatigue, and a constant irritating cough.

Angiotensin II receptor blockers work very much like ACE inhibitors and have the same side effects. They also cause indigestion and diarrhea.

Calcium channel blockers stop calcium from entering your cells, enabling the heart’s muscles and blood vessels to relax. But they also cause headaches, shortness of breath, water retention, constipation, and skin rashes.

With all these side effects, most people don’t want to take their blood pressure medications. But by not doing anything, your high blood pressure will lead to stroke or heart attack.
