Can Hydrochlorothiazide For High BP Cause Tingling And Prickly Sensations?

I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. I have been prescribed several different medicine. I am sensitive to all of them. Right now I am on hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg. I face feels tingly or prickly and sometimes warm. When I doze off while reading the paper and I awaken, my face feels pretty warm and tingly then it finally goes away. No one can seem to figure this out. Any thoughts. I have always been an active person and I can tell when my blood pressure goes up. I cannot function. This has been going on for a yr.

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that the dose of hydrochlorothiazide that you are taking is a little high.

Your complaint could be related to its adverse effects.

Coming to this point, I would recommend reducing the dose of hydrochlorothiazide and add a new drug to your actual therapy, for example Losartan.

Some tips to reduce naturally your blood pressure values are:

- reduce maximally salt and caffeine intake
- perform a lot of physical activity
- try to lose some weight if you are overweight.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
