What about a medication to help me with my problem?
There are several types of medications that we can try for your high blood pressure.
What types of medications would be best?
For water retention, I am going to start you on Hydrochlorothiazide, which is a diuretic.
What are the side effects from taking that drug,
You need to stay hydrated on this drug, but most people experience little side effects.
Will that one medication take care of all of my problems?
For now I want you to take a second drug, Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor.
Am I going to experience any complications with that drug?
The most you will experience will be a dry cough but you probably won't experience anything negative.
