Do any of the classes of bp meds work better than others for isolated high systolic bp (mine: 136/72)?

Curable: 95% of hypertension = curable. For this specific circumstance, be TRIM weight, low animal foods diet (animal foods tend to be hi sodium). This implies the elastic fibrils of you major blood vessels are fractured -> stiff blood vessels. Lowering your choesterol might help (can be curably done with diet).. Vasodilators likely help: Bystolic, Edarbi, (azilsartan) amlodipine. www.thepmc.org
