Description:

ARB- angiotensin receptor blockers, such as avapro, cozaar, and diovan, and ACEi- angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors-such as vasotec, zestril and monopril both affect the hormonal system which controls constriction of the arteries. Beta blockers such as toprol and tenormin lower the heart rate and the force of contraction of the heart. Calcium blockers, such as procardia and norvasc, as well as diuretics can also be helpful.

I am taking an ARB, a beta blocker and diuretic. I will go back to my doctor in a month to see how my blood pressure has improved. This is new for me as I never had high blood pressure before. Thanks for this wonderful, informative video.
