Are Hot Flashes And Foot Pain Side Effects Of Taking Hydrochlorothiazide 25 Mg?

Side effects from water pill Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg. I am queasy, light headed, hot flashes, cramps in foot. Started pill on Tuesday along with Lisinopril and Atenolol. Should I take all at night and not morning? There is no increase of bathroom stops so night time would not be a problem. Thank you Danna

Hi,

Hot flashes and foot pain (might be leg cramps) are not the side effects of Hydrochlorthiazide but it is a diuretic used to decrease blood pressure. It causes loss of water and electrolytes and they might be the manifestation of it.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
