Dear Doctors: I have been having anxiety, and now my blood pressure is getting high, too. Are they related? I understand medications might become necessary but would prefer to try nonmedical treatments first. Can you recommend supplements to reduce these issues?
Dear Reader: Close to half of all adults in the United States have high blood pressure, defined as a systolic blood pressure reading (that’s the top number) of 130 mmHg or more or diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) higher than 80 mmHg.
