What Causes Sweating Profusely With BP Level Of 125-130/82-91 ?
I have a physically demanding job, and work outside (in Florida), all day. I sweat pretty much 7 of the 8 hours I work a day. I drink lots of water and a sports drink during the day. I also have fruit for all my snacks. I no longer eat chips, drink soda, or eat junk food. I am also on a prescription of Hydrochlorizide. (25MG). (1 per day)....Should I being taking it daily, based on the amount in which I sweat all day, or seek a different approach? My BP has been 125-130/ 82-91, on average. A little higher, if I do not take the pill. I worry about dehydration, of course.

Hello....(1) 1st of all you u need to change your medicine because hydrochlorthiazide is a DIURETIC that means it flushes out the excess fluid via urine to lower down the bp (2) as u sweat excessively,ur body is already deprived of salts n water and over that u r taking a medicine which further deprives fluid from your body (3) till the bp levels are 140/90 you dont need any medicines to lower down ur bp,you can achieve this by modifying your life style like - (a) lower down ur intake of fried n processed foods n preservrd foods (b) eat plenty of fresh vegetables n fresh raw fruits (c) exercise regularly
