[QUOTE="Wilson7, post: 165946, member: 39729"] ACEi are generally best for BP issues in guys that are athletic. HCZ is a diuretic, while it reduces volume and thus pressure, if you're on HRT HCZ may exaggerate viscosity (HCT). My question for Codster is, do you resistance train, aggressively? Some concentric hypertrophy is normal, the echo will give you more information, ideally a cardiac MRI would be preferred as echos are not the best to assess LA dimensions. Best way to document anything on a daily basis is with an Emay monitor.
