Hello, His BP is high but there are 2 things we need to decide. 1. Does he need medicines for this or can be dealt with lifestyle modifications ? 2. Which medicines will be appropriate. I need further information about him for further advice. CCB , ARB/ACEI or Thiazide diuretics are the first line anti hypertensive agents. Beta blockers are not. Take care
