About Hypertension

Lara F asked:


I am a 26 year old female with a blood pressure ranging from 116-118/76-78. I have never had hypertension. I am obese, however, with a strong family history of heart disease on my father’s side. I know what I need to do to be healthy, so please - no lectures. My specific question is regarding the likelihood of having coronary artery disease or severe atherosclerosis without any hypertension. Not just applying to me, either, but generally speaking. Thank you.

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.
