A member asked:
Can diuretics cause heart palpitations and if so, is that dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Diuretics don't typically cause palpitations as a direct side effect. But diuretics can cause the body to lose potassium and/or magnesium. Low magnesium or potassium can cause palpitations. It's worthwhile getting your electrolytes checked in a lab.
