Low blood pressure is a goal of many Americans. Over 1000 deaths in the U.S. that occur every day have high blood pressure listed as a contributing cause. High blood pressure is a common condition, especially in individuals 60 years old and older. When people don’t get treatment for high blood pressure, they increase their risk of having a stroke or heart attack. While the condition is often successfully treated with diet changes and medications, many people with this disorder will try to turn to alternative remedies for help. But can CBD oil treat the condition? Since it is an unregulated supplement, CBD is not meant to replace existing medication treatment and therapy for serious medical conditions like high blood pressure. Here’s what we know so far about CBD and its impact on blood pressure.

What is high blood pressure?

High blood pressure, also called hypertension or HBP, is when the force of the blood pushing against the walls of the blood vessels is consistently too high or strong. The key here is “consistently.” Blood pressure rates can increase from short-term environmental factors, such as stress or a traumatic situation. Short spikes in blood pressure do not necessarily indicate that a person is hypertensive.

The human body needs oxygenated blood to be carried through the circulatory system to the tissues and organs to survive. When the heart muscle contracts and beats, it creates pressure against the blood vessels called “blood pressure.”

Blood pressure is the result of two forces. The first is called systolic pressure. Systolic pressure is created by blood pumping out of the heart and into the arteries. The second force is called diastolic pressure, created when the heart rests between each beat. These are the two numbers represented in a blood pressure reading. When the numbers are consistently too high for a person’s age, weight, and medical history, they can be diagnosed with hypertension.

What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?

High blood pressure is especially deadly because it often does not cause any symptoms until the heart and arteries have been severely damaged. Seven out of ten people having their first heart attack, and eight out of ten people having their first stroke, have high blood pressure.

How is high blood pressure diagnosed?

Anything below 120/80 is considered a healthy blood pressure reading. New blood pressure guidelines suggest that people with a consistent blood pressure reading between 120 and 129 on the top number have elevated blood pressure. A diagnosis of hypertension is considered a number between 130 and 130, with a bottom number of 80 to 89. Anything over 140 and 90 is considered stage 2 hypertension and dramatically increases a person’s risk for heart attacks and strokes.

How is high blood pressure treated, and what are the side effects?

A combination of physical activity, diet changes, and medication are often used to treat most cases of high blood pressure. Many people can live with the condition if they consistently take medication and avoid alcohol, a sedentary lifestyle, and a diet high in sodium and trans fat. High blood pressure medications can cause some side effects, including dizziness, drowsiness, headache, and nausea.

Is CBD an alternative treatment for high blood pressure?

What are the side effects of CBD?

Some research has found that CBD can cause a temporary decrease in blood pressure in healthy adults. CBD use can also cause dry mouth and drowsiness.

Is there a recommended dose for CBD?

There are no guidelines for CBD doses at this time. Consumers will need to experiment with different CBD products and doses before finding something that meets their needs. Consumers do not need a doctor’s prescription to buy CBD products. However, consumers must talk to their doctor before trying CBD. CBD can interact with certain medications and is not safe for everyone.

Research on the health benefits of CBD is still ongoing and inconclusive at this time.

Is CBD a prescription or an OTC product?

CBD is considered a supplement. It is mostly unregulated and is not considered a viable medical treatment or a patented drug regulated by the FDA. People can purchase CBD over-the-counter in a variety of stores and settings. Because it is a supplement, insurance companies do not cover the cost of CBD.
