Doctor diagnosed me with high blood pressure. i took medication (atenol) is that a good starter med?

Possibly not the : Best first line drug. An ace inhibitor may be more effective with or without a diuretic. More than one drug is the norm for blood pressure control. See your doctor or ask for a referral to a cardiologist or hypertension specialist.
