Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Looking at your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Every drug has side effect.
2. Looking at the medications and your age, I would not be worried about its specific medications.
3. Be regular with medication and maintain a low salt diet along with moderate exercise and good nutrition.

Regularly check your blood pressure. For your age, there is not specific side effects other than affecting fluid balance and can lead to hypotension.

Any further queries, happy to help again.
