I ask this because I have a friend with hypertension who’s interested in taking prescription pills to treat his high blood pressure. Only problem is he’s been diagnose with high blood pressure and he knows that its hypertension because when ever he goes to the doctor his blood pressure testing is high, and when ever he goes to Walgreen’s or local supermarket to test his blood pressure it is normal. Can anyone tell him the names of blood pressure pills strictly for hypertension if they exist.

I heard some pills dehydrate you and some may reduce your blood pressure but increase your cholesterol. Are there any good meds for high blood pressure hypertension?
Hey Dr Frank, your answer is precisely my concern. From my research taking diuretics exactly cause dehydration. What I’m asking here is if anyone knows the name of particular drugs that reduce blood pressure without causing elevated cholesterol and no dehydration. I would like more pacific answers in terms of advice of what I’m actually looking for here, which is the big question above.

How can you tell and help high blood pressure?




Okay, I know I just asked a question just like this but I’m really starting to flip out. I’ve been seeing answers on here that are making me want to get my blood pressure checked now and its 12 in the morning.
How do you know when you have high blood pressure?
How can you help it without medicine?
Anything will help, just not the doctor thing because I’m planning on getting it checked at one of those Walgreens things tomorrow.

Hello All,
I am just about 6 weeks pregnant and don’t have my first doctors appointment for 2 more weeks. High blood pressure runs in my family regardless of activity level, weight, gender, etc… it skips around but I was one of the ‘blessed’ ones.
What are some of the risks being pregnant with high blood pressure? What are the doctors going to do about it? Will I be a high-risk patient?

Thank you all!
