hello,

High bp is very common problem among the old age persons. There are many medicines available called as Anti-Hypertensive(AHT) drugs that control the bp of any extent under any medical condition. HRT could never be the treatment of choice above AHTs for control of Bp. You need to consult a good general physician who would whose a better AHT drug for you. As a specialist for choice, a cardiologist would also provide a better medicine.

Thanks
