What antihypertensive drugs can cause cancer?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Please ask, what are the side effects of high blood pressure medication that can cause cancer?

Doctor's answer:

Firstly, there is currently no clinical trial evidence proving that any antihypertensive drugs have carcinogenic effects. Additionally, hypertensive patients have many dietary aspects that require attention. Firstly, it is important to follow a low-salt and low-fat diet. Daily salt intake should be limited to no more than six grams. Avoid greasy foods and prefer vegetable oils over animal fats. Foods high in cholesterol should also be avoided.
