It is possible, this medication has been known to deplete your electrolytes, including potassium. I take it, as well, and my Cardiologist checks them regularly, to be careful.
The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, increased urination, dehydration, and hypotension.
How often does your doctor do blood work? Are you taking any other medications?
