What Should I Do As My Heart Was Fluttering After Taking The Blood Pressure Medicine?

I had some concerns. Ive had moment for the las t few moths where my blood pressure rises to 175/100 and up. When i wake up in the morning my blood pressure usually was about 160/ 67. I had a lot of tests done and the doctor prescribed a blood pressure pill i think it was call chlortholodone he told me he was gonna try a few blood pressure medications and if i still had problems then he would get a ultra sound done on my heart.. After takin the chlortholodone my diastolic #s rose. It seemed for my diastolic averaged in my 90s and i would get really dizzy and feel like my heart was almost fluttering. 3 times today i felt a pop around my heart and it felt like my heart spazed or somthing. I called my doc and told his nurse that my blood pressure was getting worse since taking the pill. So they prescribed me a different blood pressure pill. Should i call my doc back and tell him about my heart spazzing? It is really scary when it happens. Im 21 years old, im not over weight, and i dont have a family history of high blood pressure.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi,

The complains of palpitations which you have doesn't seem to be due to hypertension. If you have persistent complains, then get an ech done airing those palpitations. Get a 2 d echo also done. Consult a cardiologist if the complains persist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vihang Shah
