My Dr. has given me duratics, beta blockers, calcium channel breakers and ace inhibitors together for treating hbp. With all this medication my bp readings are 150-160/80-85. I have a very healthy life style I do one hour exercise also. My question is  why I am taking four types of pills from all from group of treating HBP.? and what could be the best prescription for treating hbp.
Hello, The best combination for you would be combination of ace inhibitor and calcium channel blocker and optimize the dose of each to max. Level. If still not controlled a diuretic and lastly beta blocker. So I would consider increasing the dose of individual medication mostly ace inhibitor and CCB and if necessary add a diuretic.  Still if it's not controlled multiple medications from different group may be tried to bring blood pressure under 135/85 at all times. An alpha blocker like prancing would be good alternative In spite of such healthy lifestyle you may still need to take medication if the pressure are controlled, because you may be prone to higher blood pressure genetically.  Hoping I could help.  Regards Chat Doctor.
