Good medication: This is a good combination for hypertension. But you are only 25 years old, you may want to talk to a primary doctor to see whether or not you truly have high blood pressure.

See below: Your doctor should get three readings on seperate days to see if it truly increased. If it is increased then the cause for a secondary hypertension ( correctable mostly) should be identified. Lifestyle modification with wt loss, dash diet, low na diet, increased physical activity should be instituted first. Finally start with 1-2 meds.
