I can see this post was from a few days ago, however, for future reference, in such cases, unless your doctor instructs you to skip the doses of certain medications, before a procedure, you should take them all, as you normally do.

Losartan with Hydrochlorothiazide is commonly used to help control high blood pressure and to treat some cardiac conditions and missing a dosage of it, or several doses, could cause rebound effects, which may put you in danger and/or affect the results of these types of tests.

Scooter, have you consulted your doctor? You really need to do so, to get to the root of the problem.

Yes, this could be caused by the medication, but there are a few different ways that it might cause these types of symptoms.

Since the Hydrochlorothiazide in this is a diuretic, it removes fluid from the body and, if it's removing too much or you aren't taking in enough fluids, your symptoms could be due to dehydration.

Another possibility is that by being a diuretic, it also removes potassium from the body, so your symptoms could also be due to hypokalemia, if your potassium levels have dropped very low.

And then another possibility is that your sodium levels are too low, which can also be caused by the diuretic. While many people with high blood pressure do try to lower their sodium, as much as possible, our bodies do need, at least, 500mgs in a day to function properly and if you aren't getting enough, so the medication is removing too much, that can also cause these types of symptoms.

Or, it could be a combination of all of the above, but it could also be totally unrelated, which is why you need to consult your doctor.

They had me on way too many medications, at one point and it caused me to suffer from all the problems that I listed.

Has your doctor done any blood work? When you are taking any type of diuretic, they should be doing blood work periodically to check your levels of sodium, potassium and other important nutrients.
