Posted on Fri, 24 Jul 2015
Question: Hello,

These days I am not getting proper sleep at night, I wake up after every 1-2 hour and than able to sleep only after 15-20 minutes, This happens 3-4 times each time.

I also feel dizzy sometimes. After doing some daily chores I get easily tired and out of breath and my whole body-aches. I become out of breath just after climbing up stairs of one floor.

Brief Answer:
A few more tests needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

Since you are taking triolmezest, I would also suggest that you go for one more test i.e serum electrolytes. Hydrochlorthiazide can cause electrolyte imbalance and can cause symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, etc.

Anyways whenever blood pressure is diagnosed it is better to start with single drug therapy rather than 3 drug combination. Medicines can have side effects.

Unable to sleep may also be caused by stress.

Thank you Doctor for the reply.

What you are suggesting is this can be a side-effect of the medicine I am taking, which now looks quite possible, as I have felt few more things like night cramps, headache which were also listed in the side-effects of triolmezest.

I will get the tests done and upload here.

Brief Answer:
Yes it is possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

I would also suggest that that you get serum calcium, vit D and electrolytes levels checked.

You should strictly adhere to lifestyle recommendations for hypertension that include DASH diet (more fruits fiber; less salt sugar oil in diet). Avoid high calorie foods like ghee, butter, cheese, sweets, etc.
Exercise regularly for atleast 30 min a day. It can include gym, walk, yoga, etc. To reduce associated stress breathing exercises can be done that are part of yoga.
