High Blood Pressure drug ups cancer risk 250%

The World Health Organization says high blood pressure is the world’s biggest health issue—affecting over 1.13 billion people.

If left untreated, it can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

But here’s the catch.

A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that the treatment itself may be just as dangerous.

Researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found that one of the most commonly prescribed blood pressure drugs raises cancer risk by a staggering 250%.

That drug? Calcium channel blockers (CCAs).

They found that postmenopausal women taking CCAs were significantly more likely to develop invasive ductal and lobular carcinomas—together, these account for 90% of all breast cancers.

And CCAs aren’t the only issue.

Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and beta blockers have also been linked to increased breast cancer risk.

It gets worse: the National Institute of Health reports that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) raises breast cancer risk by 50% on its own. So when you add risky BP meds to the mix, the odds climb even higher.

Despite all this, doctors keep prescribing these drugs—especially to women most at risk. And researchers admit there’s been almost no investigation into how these meds might affect men either.

So what are your options?
