HYDROCHLOROT 25MG TAB STAD

The doctor put me on HYDROCHLOROT 25 MG TAB STAD for high blood presure. It brought my blodd pressure down but after being on it for about two weeks I started getting very dizzy (like I just stepped off a merry go round) just feel horrible. The doctor said I could not be the medicaton but I feel it is I have never falt this was till I started this medicine. Have been this way for three weeks now, am concidering just stop taking it.

Come on, it is very well known that hydrochlorot can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded. It could even make you feel like fainting.

I also had problems with light dizziness when I first started taking hydrochlorothizide. It was nothing severe, so I put up with it because I wanted to see if the drug would work.

I had used other hypertension drugs before that I got no relief from and experienced side effects, so I wanted to see if I could benefit from diuretics and I did. This was the first drug that actually got my blood pressure to normal and the dizziness went away I guess when the body got used to it.

However, if the drug is making you way too uncomfortable, you should see a doc again and ask to prescribe you another drug as you have been experiencing side effects for over three weeks now.

Everybody react differently to hypertension meds and it may pass some time until you find the one that suits you. Maybe you have been already said that? Have you been taking anything else before to manage blood pressure or is this the first drug you have been prescribed?

I have been taking Monopril 20mg for the past 10 years and my blood pressure has stayed around 140/90. Recently my pulse dropped around 55 to 60. and my blood pressure went sky high. I found my pressure cup was faulty but the doctor was concerned because he read it at 165/92. He prescribed taking Fosinopril(generic for Monopril) and Hydrochlorot 25mg once a day. I became very dizzy and lethargic. I told him about this and he put me on Clonidine as well, to take just at bedtime. My dizziness continues as well as light headedness,but my blood pressure is now back to 138/88. The fact that I am 83 does have an effect as you get older your arteries are less flexible.But what disturbes me stll is I can feel my pulse all over my body from time to time. Does the Clonidine cause this or is it not compatable to the other 2 drugs?

Thank you for the info. I too have had had hoorible experiences on the drug. I thought I was crazy, also had terrible leg cranks, which i think are due to my electrolytes being off, I was practically dehydrated. Never again.! I stopped aaafater 12 days. Couldn't control standing.

I have taken both meds and both meds gave me trouble with dizziness and fainting feeling. I also had heart palpitations so badly at night after the clonidine that I could hardly sleep. I was out of breath most of the time too. But I truly don't think that there is a b/p med on the market thaty doesn't make you feel this way. My b/p when I was put on these was around 170/90 and I got tired of trying one med after another. I read about Oral Chelation a natural product and I started taking it in Nov. 2007 and as of today Aug. 2008 my bp is reading about 120/73, I'm still on my b/p meds but am hoping to get off them real soon. I'm 61 and have been on high b/p meds since I was in my 40's.
