It is an abbreviation for "hydrochloric thyazide" (commonly called just "thyazide") one of the oldest, safest blood pressure meds. It is basically a diuretic - it increases urination, which removes more liquid from the bloodstream - which reduces blood pressure. With less fluid volume in the bloodstream, the heart does not have to pump as hard - the blood pressure is consequently, not so high.
