Yes, there are many classes of meds that are purely antihypertensives, work with your doc who will be able to clarify. Lifestyle changes remain best in the long run, specifically losing weight, if applicable.

There are different types of blood pressure medications, some of which have a minimal effect on lowering heart rate compared to others. It would be a good idea to speak with the doctor, who knows a patient’s whole health history, to decide if a blood pressure medication is needed and which would be best in your case.
