How does a "diuretic" medication help hypertension? How does it aid in lowering blood pressure?

A diuretic makes you pee and draws out sodium. Sodium holds water. So less water and sodium equals a lower blood volume, which is desired for lowering blood pressure.

The lower blood volume reduces the cardiac out put which lessens the pressure against arteries. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
