Blood pressure meds: Is Clonidine the only medication you are taking for hypertension?It can rarely cause urinary retention(1% of the time,mainly in Elderlies).It's's not a great med for a young man unless it's added to other meds for resistant(hard to control)Hypertension.The better class options for you as the first line of Rx are: ACE inhibitors(Lisinopril),ARBs(Losartan),Amlodipine,diuretics(HCTZ) to name a few!
