General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I think you should take an appointment with your cardiologist. If you have only high blood pressure the first line to treat it are diuretics and ace inhibitors.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
