Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having recurrent infections then it is likely related to impaired immunity. Your immune system should be able to prevent frequent infections, it would not be related to your hypertension.
You may want to have a full blood count done to look at the level of your white blood count. The white blood cells are responsible for fighting infections.
In addition you may also want to increase the use of foods with anti oxidants, vitamins and mineral to boost your immunity.
I hope this helps
