People with more serious or unstable high blood pressure may need to take Vasodilators - which lower blood pressure by opening up vessels - along with a diuretic or other anti-hypertensive medication in order to help lower fluid retention. I got the above information from a report, The American Association for the Advancement of Science. And from what you had told me, none of the medications you mentioned are vasodilators. However having said that, I am not a medical doctor. You may have to consult your doctor regarding this. But I hope my information helps. Thanks.

I am 57 y/o black female who is not obese, does not drink, does not smoke, exercises daily & eats healthy. I am aware of what I put into my body. However, my physican has been unable to regulate my blood pressure. Presently I am taking Ex-Forge 5mg/320 mg; Lasix 25 mg; Toprol 100 mg & Clonidine 25 mg. Nothing works. Yesterday I was in the doctor's office & BP was 155/103. Thirty minutes later, it was 133/99. I am frustrated & scared. What can I do? I have high blood pressure.
