Considering the patient's obesity and hypertension, what is the primary rationale for prescribing both lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide in this case?
Lisinopril is used for its weight-reduction properties in obese patients. Lisinopril addresses obesity directly, while hydrochlorothiazide reduces stress. Hydrochlorothiazide is primarily used to manage the patient's pain symptoms. Combination therapy is often used to achieve better blood pressure control by addressing different pathways.
