What Is The Treatment For High Blood Pressure?

I am 35 year old woman, non smoker, exercise, not overweight and was diagnosed with high blood pressure after undergoing a complete physical for lief insruance 2 months ago and everything was great. I am now being tested for renal artery stenosis, I have had chronic UTIs since I was about 2-3 years old, could this lead to RAS?

Thanks for your question madam.

Since you have not clearly explained about your full history since childhood which is causing frequent UTIs, i am not very sure for the reason of repeated UTI but, There is no obvious correlation between UTI and RAS.

Both have independent pathophysiology.
