Are you among the 25% of Americans that suffer from hypertension? Fortunately hypertension can be treated with prescription medication. The common medication types are:

1. ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors)

2. ARB drugs (Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers)

Both these medication types affect the hormonal system that affects blood pressure.

Some hypertension patients are treated with Beta-Blockers. Beta Blockers work on the sympathetic nervous system. This can slow down the heart rate and reduce contractions. This medication is useful for patients with Angina or who have had heart attacks. However, there are some side effects for this type of medication.
