I am taking Metformin for diabetes. My doctoe wanted to put me on HCTZ, even thought no fluid.? |
That was for High Blood Pressure. I started the HCTZ and was very sick. Needless to say, I stopped it and felt better the next day that I didn't take it Many doctors will put their diabetic patients on a low dose of some sort of blood pressure med to protect the kidneys. HCTZ is one of them, and is also a diuretic. If you don't really need it, I would not take it. Everyone reacts differently to different meds and combinations of meds. Diabetes causes kidney damage. And while HCTZ is for high blood pressure it works because its a diuretic. Some cases of high blood pressure are caused by kidney damage.You need to ask him the reason he put you on this medication and let him know that you stopped taking it.Did you know that alarge percentage of people on dialysis are diabetic and that diabetes is what caused their kidney damage. Remember the movie steel magnolias. Diabetes is the disease the daughter had that caused her to go on dialysis, have a kidney transplant and eventually killed her in the end. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR!!! |
