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 ?
