Hello,
The dehydration from the diuretic action of the hydrochlorothiazide can reveal the facts of chest discomfort in some cases.
Usually, in recommended clinical doses, liver damage is not the primary effect of hydrochlorothiazide medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
