Your circumstances are unfortunate. There are many ways someone can get health care in the US without insurance. If you have a low income there are federally subsidized clinics. I have worked in such clinics and people some people were charged as low as $15 a visit, (most paid more). https://www.hrsa.gov/opa/eligibility-and-registration/health-centers/fqhc/index.html

Your current prescriber would be best to assist with refills during your transition to a community clinic as most refills are done over the phone by current docs. That will allow for time for a proper transition of care. Prescribing to unknown patients for undocumented conditions ( docs not having access to medical files) is not recommended otherwise.

Hypertension meds: Agree with Dr. Pasniciuc. There may be sliding fee or free services in some counties. We can not manage your blood pressure medication on HealthTap's general health/ medical education site.
