Is there a medication you can prescribe to help me with my problem?
There are various choices of blood pressure medication that we can try.
What is available?
We could start with Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic.
Are there many side effects?
There really are not many side effects. You need to drink a lot of water when you take this pill.
Is that the only medication I need to take?
It might be, but for a while I also want you to take an ACE inhibitor, Lisinopril.
What are the side effects of that drug?
You may have a little bit of a dry cough, but you will feel much better.
