By: Dr. Rulin Xiu

A lot people are told by their doctors to take high blood pressure medications to get their blood pressure under control. At the same time, they are informed that these drugs have potential side effects, which can lead to serious damage to their body in the long run.

Jay Allen in California have had blood pressure over 140/90 since the mid 1970's.In the past few months his blood pressure started to soar to the 155/100+ range. In reaction, his physician has been prescribing more and more drugs to control it. Jay said: "I was also beginning to feel like a walking zombie from the obvious side effects." About a month ago, Jay collapsed in the gym while working out from the effects of one of the drugs.

At the age 81, Richard A. has been taking blood pressure medication for about 20 years. Lately he was told by his doctor that his kidney is failing him. . He then checked the print on his prescription and it read "kidney damage" as a side effect.

The partial list of high blood pressure drug side effects include: impotence, muscle and joint pain, anemia, dermatitis, insomnia, diarrhea, nausea, constipation, vomiting, vertigo, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, rash, kidney stones, liver and kidney damage, irregular heartbeat, depression, swelling of legs or ankles as well as other serious conditions.

Side effects of the blood pressure medicine can not only affect your quality of life, it can also cause long term damage to your body. In the long run, high blood pressure medicine can lead to loss of vision, damage to your heart functions, liver and kidney failure, loss of memory and brain functions, and many more.

Some people may not notice any side effects at the beginning. However, after a while, people start to notice the increased negative impact to their body, health and well-being. The side effects can be silent for many years until the serious damage to your body has already been done. This is because the hypertension medicine causes imbalance in your body and its damaging effects accumulate and become more noticeable with time.

People taking diuretics should be aware that diuretics can drain their body's supply of potassium. This can lead to side effects, such as cramping and fatigue. They need to take potassium supplement to replenish their body with this mineral.

Hypertensive drugs do not cure hypertension. It is only a bandage that temporarily covers up the symptom. If you stop taking them, your blood pressure can go up right away. Therefore, you have to keep taking it for the rest of your life if you don't take other measures. In most cases, after a period of time, the medication you are taking stops working. Your doctor has to give you more drugs to lower your blood pressure.

The best solution for getting high blood pressure under control is through life style changes. Deep and slow breathing techniques, meditation, exercises, sleep better, getting massage, eating healthier diet with less salt can all help improve blood pressure. Some natural remedies can also help improve healthy blood pressure. In the case of Jay and Richard, both of them started to search for better solution. They were able to get their blood pressure under control naturally with no known harmful side effects.
