A member asked:
Would a diuretic help with blood pressure issues from anxiety? i was prescribed 12.5 mg htc for hbp most likely due to anxiety.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: However, diuretics alone are not considered the best option for treating hypertension. I am also not certain that this is a pure anxiety related issue. You should purchase an automated blood pressure monitor and check your own BP regularly. That will decide if your hypertension is more chronic and if therapy is effective.
