They'll put you on something to help, and like I said there are lots of very cheap antinypertensives out there; just let them know you need something not too expensive. Also, if you suffer from depression, make sure, if they want to put you on a beta blocker, that they give you Atenolol. It's the least likely of all the beta blockers to worsen depression. Some of them, like propranolol for example, can really make depression worse. But Atenolol has virtually no effect. Good luck!
