The $10-Billion Drug Problem – With High Blood Pressure
When you suffer from high blood pressure, or some call it hypertension, your arteries are basically shrinking. So, as your arteries shrink, your heart has to work harder to pump the same amount of blood through your circulatory story. The problem is your heart beats against this restricted blood flow, working itself harder and harder, to the point of danger and potentially fatal blast.
All this makes you a ticking time bomb – for a heart attack, aneurism or stroke.
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute estimates that 70% of strokes are a direct result of high blood pressure, and heart disease is still the leading killer of both men and women, killing 500,000 Americans a year.
No wonder drug companies seize the opportunity to cash in on high blood pressure drugs! IMS Health predicts the market to be worth $10 billion a year!
As a result, Americans are prescribed high blood pressure drugs and secured life-time dependency. This perpetual medication regime works a variety of ways, including slowing down our hearts, increasing the size of our arteries, or diluting our blood to help it flow more easily.
High Blood Pressure Drug Hazard
By forcing or manipulating your body for these results do come at a price. The hazards of high blood pressure drugs are as follows:
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Dizziness
- Erectile dysfunction
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Heart palpitations
- Kidney failure
- Liver failure
- Menstrual problems
- Nausea
- Weakness
High Blood Pressure Drug Side-Effects
Diuretics
These high blood pressure drugs are also called “water pills.” However, diuretics compromise your energy, leaving you feeling fatigued, weak, and possibly cramping. In addition, you can expect hearing loss, kidney problems, heart arrhythmias and even gout from taking diuretics. Diabetes should especially be careful because diuretics can throw off blood sugar levels.
Beta Blockers
This class of high blood pressure drugs slow down your heart. But the side-effects include chronic fatigue, depression and asthma. Weight gain is also a common side-effect of beta blockers, according to Dr. Sheldon Sheps, an emeritus Mayo Clinic physician. Furthermore, a study by the American Journal of the Medical Sciences shows men can expect their sexual activity to decline, even up to half, as well as experience erectile dysfunction from taking beta blockers!
Alpha Blockers
Alpha Blockers relax the arteries, but potentially causes extreme fluctuation with low blood pressure, resulting in weakness, achy joints, diarrhea and even anemia. They can also cause nightmares and insomnia. Stated by Ohio University Professor, Dr. Richard Klabunde, author of Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts, alpha blockers cause “dizziness … headaches … and excessive fluid retention.” Unfortunately, erectile dysfunction is also common with men taking alpha blockers. No wonder men 70% of men simply stop taking alpha blockers.
Vasodilators
Vasodilators also dilate blood vessels, but cause severe joint ache and pain as a result. Other side-effects of vasodilators include can heart palpitations, headaches, excessive weight gain and unwanted hair growth.
Do High Blood Pressure Drugs Really Work?
As you can see, the facts suggest they do not.
A record number of Americans are taking blood pressure drugs — yet, the percentage of people with high blood pressure hasn’t dropped in 10 years. The CDC states 69 millions have high blood pressure. That is 1 in 4 adults! More people than ever before are taking high blood pressure drugs. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality proves this contradiction, showing only sporadic and short-lived improvement in blood pressure.
Over the long term, high blood pressure drugs and medications lose their effectiveness.
And a study published last November in Circulation, the Journal of the American Heart Association, showed that overuse of high blood pressure medications increase the incidence of cardiovascular complications … and push blood pressure levels below normal.
Dr. Sripal Bangalore, Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at New York University School of Medicine and lead author of the study, noted, “Although our data generally support the ‘lower is better’ approach, this only goes so far.” Blood pressure pushed below normal levels through drugs ushers in a host of other health problems.
