Hello Teresa! I found interest in your infographic because I’ve always heard the term high blood pressure as well as hypertension and did not know exactly how it was controlled through medications. You efficiently explained what diuretics, beta blockers and angiotension receptor blockers do within the body to combat hypertension. Since this medical condition can likely go unnoticed for an extensive amount of time, knowing the other medical conditions you listed can help bring aware that it is a possibility.
