There are tons of drugs that will reduce blood pressure, but my advice is to see a doctor first. Some, called diuretics , rid the body of excess fluids and salt (sodium). Others, called beta blockers, reduce the heart rate and the heart's output of blood.
Another class of antihypertensives is called sympathetic nerve inhibitors. Sympathetic nerves go from the brain to all parts of the body, including the arteries. They can cause the arteries to constrict, raising blood pressure. This class of drugs reduces blood pressure by inhibiting these nerves from constricting blood vessels.
Another group of drugs is the vasodilators . These can cause the muscle in the walls of the blood vessels (especially the arterioles) to relax, allowing the vessel to dilate (widen).
Other classes of drugs used to treat high blood pressure are the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers and the calcium antagonists (calcium channel blockers). The ACE inhibitors interfere with the body's production of angiotensin, a chemical that causes the arteries to constrict, and the angiotensin II receptor blockers block the effects of angiotensin. The calcium antagonists can reduce the heart rate and relax blood vessels.
Many drugs will work, but people respond differently to each one. Normally, there is a trial period to determine how your body responds to the drugs. Before a physical I once took a fosinopril tablet I got from my father, and it dropped my blood pressure within normal ranges in only a couple of hours. I don't recommend it though....your heart and blood pressure are nothing to mess around with.
