Hi,

It helps prevent strokes, heart attacks and kidney problems by lowering high blood pressure. Side effects of Hydrochlorothiazide are stomach upset, dizziness, headache, eye pain, muscle weakness, decrease in vision, extreme thirst, dryness of mouth, muscle cramps, confusion, slow or fast irregular heartbeat, erectile dysfunction, fatigue,
ear pain, ear infection, weakness, tingling in hands or feet, diarrhoea or constipation, electrolyte disturbances, tunnel vision, vertigo, postural hypotension, allergic reactions etc.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
