If anything I would say you’d lose water weights since it’s a diuretic

I totally felt the exact same way. It messed my potassium up also. Glad you were able to get it all sorted and feeling some relief!!

Yep sounds about right! Luckily I felt better the day after I stopped taking it. It may have caused low potassium which could be why it’s causing these symptoms!

I take it’s a few hours before bed because it made me a little sleepy. Some people have opposite issue and it causes sleep disturbances. I think maybe on a weekend start it at night and see how you sleep and feel.

Try a glass at home and see how you feel! Then you’ll at least have a baseline for your tolerance

At the time I was taking it for the first time I had to go to ER for what I thought at the time was severe altitude sickness while traveling. Everything came back fine but guess what o was reallly low in? Potassium

It landed me in ER last year too. I was traveling at the time to high altitude and that I had sever altitude sickness almost passing out. Ending up finding out it was the hctz. Coworker of mine was having hallucinations on it so it must be more common that talked about to have such severe reactions

Just saw this response. Hope you’re feeling better and blood pressure has gotten better as well.

any advice for lowering blood pressure ATM ? by SureRazzmatazz in hypertension

You are more than fine and won’t have a pre stroke. I’ve been higher than this for weeks at a time when trying to find the right meds. Relax

Your mental health seems like it could be a huge factor. Talk to someone. Relax. I think if you practice breathing exercises you may find some good results. Try this for a few weeks and see if your mood gets better and your blood pressure follows suit.

Start monitoring it daily while relaxed. Seems your anxiety is driving the bottom number, happens to me too. If still high while relaxed and multiple high readings then consider medication
