What could be the htn medication with the least amount of many common side effects, with the exception of hctz (hydrochlorothiazide)?

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Depends: see your doc to go over which drug medication profile fits you best. All drugs have side effects, but not every side effect occurs to any given person.
