Hydrochlorothiazide
high blood pressure
"I take 10mg Lisinopril & it reduce my bp to the normal -pre hyper range. My doc decided to give me a water pill. Now I have a history of drugs working the opposite on me. For instance, he put me on a Beta Blocker to help my BP & warned it would lower my normal heart rate. In 2 days it increased my heart rate enough to put me in the hospital (where they kept giving it to me). It also caused me to have heart pains. I'm weaned from it but may have the heart pains for up to a year as a side effect. I've taken this water pill at 2 separate occasions & it doesn't do anything but increase my lower bp number. I don't retain water & my output does not increase. No more. Lisinopril, diet & exercise is all I need to control my bp. No additional pills."
