Blood Pressure Meds?!
Question:
Blood Pressure Meds?
Has anyone out there also experienced horrid rashes from taking Chlorthalidone..a diuretic? My skin became very dry and the bottom of my legs got sores on them that itched very badly. I was told this is rare, but would like to hear from others who had similar experiences. I am now working to lower my BP with diet, exercise, and meditation..plus other holistic measures..keeping in mind..i may need to go back on to something. thanks..
Answers:
I am not a pharmacist but I do know that diuretics can cause these side effects as well as gout over time. I know this from people who have used them.
I also know a 74 year old man who was able to completely quit diuretics and another blood pressure med after taking them for 20 years by using slow breathing and exercise. Slow breathing is clinically proven to lower blood pressure and the new Breatheasy system makes it even more effective by combining it with relaxing music. It's very meditative.

It works wonders for me.
