Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Possibility of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is more for your chest tightness because you are having loose motions.
But better to rule out heart diseases first because you are taking water pills and having high blood pressure.
So first get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg and 2d echo.
If all are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases.
AGE is likely cause in your case.
So avoid hot and spicy food. Start oral rehydration solution (ORS). Avoid junk food.
You will mostly improve in 1-2 days.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
