Blurry Vision, Disorientation, Bad Headaches. Taking Hydrochlorothiazide. What Is Wrong?
I take 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide a day, but for some reason, today wasn't thinking. I believe I may have taken it 3 times, don't ask me why, and been having some blurriness of vision, some disoriented, and now a bad headache and just don't feel right. Should I be concerned if I may have taken 75 mg in a day. Possibly may have only taken 2. I know I took more than one dose.....thanks

Hi, you didn't mention your age, but i presume it to be 60+, so when you take more than normal you should have passed more urine, then you may get hypotension and can get all the above symptoms.By taking more of coconut water or O.R.S.you can have relief.
If you are not getting excess urine, the symptoms may be due to fear of the fact that you have taken more tablets. If you feel really weak consult your doctor. Thank you.
