Is It Good To Take Blood Pressure Medicines With Diuretic Drugs?
My wife took one of my bloodpressure meds with a diuretic. She has a bloodpressure of 110/74..She has dizziness just going to the bathroom and back to bed..and she breathesa llittle quicker than I think she should be. She also seems a little pale in the face at times. What should we do..she took it at about 10 yesterday and I hope this pill will soon be out of her system.

hi, her blood pressure is quite ok. she is probably developing postural hypotension due to the diuretic induced volume loss, which is making her dizzy while standing. I suggest you to stop the diuretic and consult your doctor for this. hope this helped.
