    Diuretics such as thiazide, loop, and potassium-sparing diuretics are first-line treatments for hypertension in patients with asthma, calcium disorders, renal disease, or who are African American. Common side effects of beta blockers include fatigue, weakness, bradycardia, heart failure, depression, and sexual dysfunction, and they should be used carefully with diabetics. Calcium channel blockers can cause bradycardia, heart block, headache, hypotension, constipation, and nausea, while ACE inhibitors may lead to headaches, low blood pressure when standing, coughing, and increased potassium levels.
