Possibly: Dry mouth yes as this drug is used to control edema but is potassium sparring. Dry mouth yes so be sure to brush, floss and use a rx Fluoride to help prevent decay. Nausea can occur if you are not keeping yourself well hydrated during exercise. Please see your md to address these side effects.
