Each time afraid for my life thinking I was have a heart attack. Was on a family vacation and had to miss out on an activity and go to the hospital. No telling what damage it's done to my system as I've been taking it for a year. I just now thought to check reviews and have come to realize other people were experiencing the same thing. Heart palpitations, dizziness, light-headed, body pain, insomnia etc... don't take this sh*t! | M | 38 | 100 days 25 1X day | 8/6/2021 | 4 | taking w/another HBP med | occasionally light-headed; take with 80mg Valsartan.

Not overweight | F | 72 | 1 years 12.5 mg 1X day | 7/12/2021 | 2 | Water retention & slightly high BP | HEART RACING to the point of panic | I started taking this at the same time as another 10 day course of medicine, so it took me a while to realize it was the HCTZ causing racing heart.

Come to find out other people are experiencing the same ones! I've been having insomnia panic attacks going in the my almost third week taking it. I know it takes time to build up in your system but almost right away I was feeling chest pain, tingling limbs and pain in my temples. On my almost third week taking it I started having horrible insomnia panic attacks. I stopped taking it 2 days ago and I'm still having side effects. Just hoping this hell of a drug will be out my system all the way soon. I can't believe they are prescribing this medication to people. They don't tell you these side effects!! | F | 30 | 22 days 25mg 1X day | 5/27/2021 | 1 | HTN | Anxiety, chest tightness, panic, brain fog, dizziness, head pressure, feel like just falling over. | Horrible | F | 30 | 32 days 12.5 mg 1X day | 5/24/2021 | 1 | Blood Pressure | Racing heart, sugar, magnesium and potassium levels all over the place. Insomnia. Aching back and kidneys, bladder leaks. | Worst Blood Pressure medication. Back ache and kidney ache along with racing heart and insomnia. Stopped taking it after 10 days and my bladder became leaky two days AFTER I stopped taking it. Still happening after two weeks off it. Found out this medication can cause “bladder spasms” aka leaky bladder. This wasn’t listed on side effects handout, I looked at a medical journal and saw it listed! This was NOT happening to me before I took this. This drug should be taken off market! | F | 48 | 10 days 12.5 1X day | 5/16/2021 | 1 | Hbp | Chest tightness, fatigue, muscle pain, headache dry eyes, anxiety and heart palpitations... | M | 55 | 4 months 12mg 1X day | 4/29/2021 | 1 | Hypertension | Completely changed my emotions! I was starting to notice that i was feeling irritated at everything and everyone no matter what.

I hardly ate for the entire time I was on this poison, so I lost weight and look great. Probably won't go to the beach, though, because of the debilitating panic attacks. The muscle cramps are merely a side note, and they're horrible on they're own. | Why would I be surprised that Satan is involved in the pharmaceutical industry? What a perfect place. Just didn't know he helped to develop drugs. I use that word very generously, too, this is a drug the same way bubonic plague was a bad influenza outbreak. It is truly a poison. At least in my experience. | M | 56 | 6 days 12.5 1X day | 1/21/2021 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Works great for making you urinate to get excess salt and water from your body but I have Migraines for hrs on end.
