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 .
