Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

All the tablets are not for pressure - Alprazolam is for anxiety / Imdur for angina / aspirin is anti-platelet (blood thinner)... and so on

The last three are for pressure...
If the pressure is not controlled, you may have to change them to newer ones -
The most common ones are Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (like Olmesartan) / Diuretic (like Thiazide) / Calcium Channel Blocker (like Amlodipine).
These three are drugs are the most used ones / introduce one, step up to maximum dose / add another and step up / add a third one
When stable - controlled well - change to a combination product...
Discuss with your doctor / Cardiologist or nephrologist is the ideal one...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
