High Blood Pressure
"I am male mid-50s and have taken many hypertension meds, most with some level of side-effects.  I have settled on 2 with positive side-effects that work okay (captopril and amlodipine), and chlorthalidone with no side-effects that I am aware of and which pounds the numbers down the most.  One of the most highly regarded medicine trials, called ALLHAT, found this to be the best.  Not sure why it&#039;s not one of the first to be prescribed."
