Is there such thing as a medication for High Blood Pressure that doesn't cause Kidney Damage?

Interesting question!
All medications have some sorts side effects. But high b/p itself can damage your kidneys as well...

most high blood pressure medications will have some effect on your kidneys, and yes, there may be a little damage.
However, the small amount of damage the medication may cause is hugely outweighed by the huge damage uncontrolled high blood pressure will eventually cause, not just your kidneys, but all body systems.
So, in this case, i think it is probably better to go with the lesser of the two evils, speak with your PCP and work out a drug plan that will minimise kidney and associated organ damage, while still giving you the best possible management of your high blood pressure.

You can believe it or not, but garlic cloves are the answer. Chop 1-3 cloves (not bulbs) up and swallow them like a pill on a full stomach(empty stomach will upset your stomach)...do this twice a day for a couple of weeks and u will see a difference. Garlic cleans the plaque buildup from your arteries, and is great for reducing blood pressure. Garlic is also one of nature's strongest antibiotics...great for combatting flus,and colds as well. Another good thing for cleaning the arteries is niacin and cayenne pepper. But try the garlic...it does wonders

Most don't hurt the kidneys at all. Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, etc.
