Question

An individual diagnosed with hypertension six months ago is frustrated that their blood pressure is still elevated despite having tried several medications. When asked what is taking so long, what is the best response by the healthcare provider? "There are so many medications, we just need to find the right one for you." "Trial and error is the best way to determine how your body will respond, unfortunately. But there are a lot more drugs we can try." "Hypertension is the type of illness that develops over time, so it is expected that finding the right treatment will also take time. We just need to be patient and keep trying." "Hypertension is a complex disease with multiple causes, so it can take time to discover which medication, or combination of medications, works best for each person."
