A member asked:

Can you tell me in addition to lowering blood pressure will hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) also reduce anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If I told you it would reduce anxiety, I'd be lying to you. If you want a medicine that can lower BP and reduce anxiety, try propranolol. Start with the long acting form at 60 mg daily and titrate if necessary according to your BP and how you feel. (discuss this with your doc).

A member asked:

Very good morning doctors. I was told Losartan HCTZ can raise both serum creatinine & BUN and lower eGFR. I take Losartan HCTZ and it seems to work great. How do I resolve this if I need a water pill diuretic to help control blood pressure?
