HTN: Unless you tend to have a somewhat rapid resting heart rate or known coronary artery disease,, I don't think either one is a first line choice. ACE inhibitors(like lisinopril), , ARB's(like avapro) or calcium channel blockers (like amlodipine) often combined with a low dose diuretic are better choices, in my opinion.
