OK aspirin has no effect on lowering blood pressure!!! It is an anticoagulant/anti-inflammatory and is contraindicated in people with high blood pressure or severe kidney issues because it cause you to rretain water and Na!...Beta blocker will cause some fatigue especially when you first start taking them. They will also hinder your workout a little bit...this is why I say go with the diuretic...just take 2 multivitamins a day and eat 2-3 bananas every day while on them. Each banana has about 8 mEq of potassium in them and we typically see 10-20 mEq perscribed when people have pottasium issues with diuretics...do 2-3 bananas is plenty. the diruetic you were taking before is garbage...these diuretics HCTZ, low dose Lasix will work more consistantly and predictably and are very well tolerated. Benzos will not lower your pressure if it is a volume issue...if it is anxiety it should...but can you get your hands on any benzos is the question and do you want to be fuct up all the time. I had the same BP issues and now take 20mg lasix a day and am golden...eat 2 bananas and take 2 MV each day and feel great.
Good luck...

I also take asprin ed and Im under the same impression you are. I was told it does help thin the blood by my doctor and my wife who's a medical student.
