hi..120/90 is certainly not hypertension if you go by the criteria cardiologists use, but you are pre-hypertensive..but the choice of medication, i.e., combination of diuretics is probably because of your weight as these are not commonly prescribed as first line..so reduce your weight as advised..modify your life style and diet..BP will remain in control, depression as well!..have a good health..continue cardiological check-up on a regular basis
