I'm another data point that confirms this. ADHD has become harder to manage close to when I was diagnosed with hypertension, almost to the point of complete executive dysfunction. Guanfacine helps significantly. I'm also on BP medication, and if I miss a couple of doses and my BP rises, it becomes impossible to think clearly. So the link to cognitive decline seems unsurprising to me.

>complete executive dysfunction Could you describe that more? As in the sensation?

  It's a complete inability to direct myself to do a task, even when it is extremely simple. For example, paying a bill, or responding to a text message. I want to do it, but the task seems insurmountable. I eventually complete the tasks by sheer attrition, but it feels like I'm walking over hot coals. Guanfacine helps significantly.
