What Causes Dizziness After Changing BP Medications?
I am taking prescriptions for high blood pressure which were recently changed. Presently asking Losartan hctz 100/25, along with a potassium CL micro 10meq ER tabs. I am feeling sick to stomach, dizzy and have little energy. Blood pressure is registering 148/68/62. Could the potassium be causing this

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fatigue , dizziness and nausea are possible side effects of this medication (losartan- HCTZ) so it definitely could be the cause of your symptoms.
Nausea and dizziness can also occur with potassium supplements so it is possible that combination would have an effect.
You should consider speaking to your doctors about your symptoms.
I hope this helps
