   Hydrochlorothiazide (High & Low Blood Pressure board)

26th October 2004
Is anyone familiar with the side effects of this diuretic? I have been on 25mg. of this in addition to Accupril because any of the Beta Blockers, including ToprolXL have caused severe reactions. With this latest addition, I have noticed severe pain in upper right abdominal region in addition to problems with urination. I've been on a plethora of blood pressure meds,most either ineffective, or the side effects were so staggering, I had to discontinue them. I am beginning to feel like a guinea pig. Any info on these meds would be appreciated.

Thank you. :)

VL,

I don't think either of the meds is to blame. For the upper right quadrant pain, one should always first suspect gall bladder inflammation, stones or both. An echogram will confirm A good cheap test is no snacks after dinner and then a fatty breakfast of 1/2 pound of not-too crisp bacon, a couple eggs and toast with LOTS of butter...heavy cream in your coffee. If that breakfast doesn't have you HOWLING from waves of pain in a half hour, your GB is sound:D:D!

Problems with urination...bladder infection, maybe...just a stab in the dark here??

Accupril and HCTZ sounds like a good, effective combo if you aren't a "cougher" from the ACE inhibitors.
