What Is Hydrochlorot Side Effect

Could this medication be the reason for my very dry and extremely itching skin? ## Yes, it could be the reason for it! Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, so it removes fluid from the body. What dosage are you taking? You may be on too high of a dosage for you, or you may need to make sure you take in some more fluids. I had a similar problem, when they had me on too high of a dosage of diuretics.

I'm taking Hydrochlorothiazide for water retention due to a side effect from high estrogen levels in my birth control. I take 25 mg every morning, and haven't been able to sleep at all in the past three nights. I've looked it up online and haven't found anywhere saying that it causes loss of sleep. Is that a side effect of hydrochlorothiazide or is there just something else wrong with me? Because I haven't changed any other medications, or habits since then. It's the only thing I can think of that's causing this. ## Hi Hannah, There are actually quite a few side effects listed that, in my opinion, could indirectly result in loss of sleep/insomnia-related symptoms. Posted below is a list of side effects for you to check out: Hypokalemia, an occasional side eff...

I have antiphospolipid syndrome (APS) I was given HCTZ for blood pressure and after two weeks my body went haywire. This resulted in severe respiratory distress, intubated for 3 days had heart attack was kept alive w/ machinery & drugs. Later realized this triggered catastrophic antiphospolipid syndrome. After researching found that this is a known trigger- too late for me. Two years later I still don't have all the feeling back in my legs and have lung and kidney damage. ## To avoid offending the original poster, I have removed the potentially insulting post. People react to drugs in different ways, so it is possible to have such a reaction to a known trigger substance. Side effects also vary from person to person, so just because one person experiences very few from taking thi...

Prescribed hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg for hypertension. Took for 1st 3 months with no problems outside of frequent urination which is to be expected. It has been working to lower my good pressure, so I was given another 3 month prescription. A week after I begin this batch, I started to suffer from all sorts of illnesses. First it was a stuffy nose, slightly sore throat (lasted approx. 3 days), & red itchy eyes. This lasted week, then stuffy nose turned to runny nose & it felt like something was running down back of throat. This lasted for about a 1-1/2 weeks, but midway through had shortness of breathe & felt like something was sitting on my chest at night. Then everything but shortness of breathe subsided, but I then developed a terrible cough with a squeak at the end and ...

how do you take the med???and how late to take not to make you get up during the night???? ## When I was on them, my doctor always had me take it in the morning, to try to minimize the chance that I would have to get up at night and go the bathroom.

It is supposed to make you urinate more and urinate more frequently. Have you discussed this with your doctor?
