In this video, we’re going to talk about the crazy side effects of Thiazide. Thiazide—also known as hydrochlorothiazide—is a high blood pressure medication and diuretic.

One notable effect of Thiazide is that it depletes your electrolytes.

Side effects of Thiazide include:
• Hypokalemia (low potassium)
• Palpitations
• Arrhythmias
• Muscle weakness
• Cramps
• Hyperglycemia (diabetes)
• Hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol)
• High uric acid (gout)
• High calcium
• Low sodium
• Low magnesium
• Tiredness
• Weakness

Interestingly, this medication can even cause high blood pressure. Potassium relaxes the blood vessels, which helps counteract high blood pressure. Thiazide depletes potassium.

If you have high blood pressure, it’s important to keep these side effects in mind. You may want to consider making healthy lifestyle changes before choosing to go on a blood pressure medication with numerous side effects. Talk to your doctor about your options.
