HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE  (HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE):  This medication is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a class of drugs known as diuretics/"water pills." It works by causing you to make more urine. This helps your body get rid of extra salt and water. This medication also reduces extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath or swelling in your ankles or feet.   FDA Approval Date: 2000-01-28 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Hypertension Very fast and weak heartbeat, tight and uncomfortable feeling in chest, excrutiating headaches, water retention, raised blood pressure, difficulty breathing, blurry vision, acid stomach, tremors, taste and smell disturbances, weakness. This drug does not work for me. It RAISED my blood pressure instead of lowering it. It is frightening having to live while feeling as though you are suffocating and on the verge of a heart attack.

 1  Hbp Heart racing, extreme anxiety, weight gain,depression. Severe sweating,usually very cold natured,anemic. I thought I was going crazy. Paranoia this drug should definitely be taken off the market. I asked my doctor why was I sweating so profusely. She said that I was going through the changes. I noticed she did not put me back on the medication. But she never admitted to the medicine causing all of this either. F 53 4 months
