A Diuretic is just a substance that makes a person pee a lot. so the doctor just means drinking water is the best way to make someone pee more. im not sure what it has to do with high blood pressure though ---- For high blood pressure, diuretics, commonly known as "water pills," help your body get rid of unneeded water and salt through the urine. Getting rid of excess salt and fluid helps lower blood pressure and can make it easier for your heart to pump. Diuretics may be used to treat a number of heart-related conditions, including high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney and liver problems, and glaucoma. -Levi
