Brief Answer:
It seems to be due to BP medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
The excessive urination seems to be stemming from hydrochlorthiazide which is a diuretic. Diuretic means something that increases urination. Coffee is also somewhat diuretic and adding to its effect. Moreover you are drinking lots of water. A urinalysis can also be undertaken to rule out other concomitant conditions like diabetes.
Maybe try taking BP meds in morning so that you do not need to wake up at night.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
