Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Chlorthalidone belongs to class of drugs called diauertis. These are used to lower blood pressure. So it does not rise blood pressure rather it would drop it more.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
