Hi,
Yes, you can add loop diuretics. Antihypertensive medicine's main goal is to achieve the target BP and decrease cardiovascular risks. You can add loop diuretics and then look if it is lowering your BP or not.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
