ARB vs Olmesartan: I am a HTN Specialist. Neither. The recommendation since 1999 is to first give the DASH DIET a trial. Use Cronometer to track your Na and K intake and then Move to DASH goals. Less than 1,500 mg Na and more than 4,700 mg K. If it works you BP will be better in 1 wk(systolic)/diastolic in two. And no meds. If that does not work next is chlorthalidone. But discuss with team. May your BP b low!
