You have reached a public education site where health care questions are addressed. But here, we do not diagnose, prescribe, manage, or treat. Generically, if you have hypertension, the best medication dose is the one that controls the blood pressure with minimal or mild side effects. Trust your doctor's advice.

Probably an ACE or an ARB but I would leave it up to your doctor. Good Luck
