Please see Dr. ASAP: Hydrochlorothiazide can cause petechiae but not often. According to fda of 56, 000 people that had a reaction to hctz, (hydrochlorothiazide) only 96 had petechiae. There are other causes of petechiae, some of which include other meds such as nsaids/aspirin, infections some of which can be serious, other health conditions including inflammation of blood vessels (vasculitis). Need to see your doctor as soon as possible.

Maybe hctz, (hydrochlorothiazide) as a hypertensive, has fewer side effects, i.E., dizziness? If so, will ask md to move from 25 mg to 50 mg next week. Worthwhile?
