Bloating, Gassy, Hunger Pangs And Feeling Of Having Flu After Intake Of Hydrochlorathiazide For High BP And Zovia 1/35E To Stop Periods. Side Effects?
I am currently taking hydrochlorathiazide for high blood pressure and I just started taking zovia 1/35E to stop my periods. I have not felt very good since starting these two medications. My stomach feels like I am starving all the time but it doesn't go away when I eat. I feel like I have the flu. My whole abdomen is bloated and very uncomfortable and I am having a lot of gas. I am not sure which medicine is causing this.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Hydrocholorothizide & zovia are two drugs , which ,you are taking.
Zovia is a hormonal and usually have no side effects as you mentioned in your query.
Side effects of hydrochlorothiade are many but few are effecting you as,
Hypokalaemia,
lethargy,
leg cramps,
digestive disturbances as ,
nausea,
vomiting,
Fullness in stomach,
indigestion,
bloating.
So this is a main culprit for your symptoms.
Consult the doctor ( treating physician) and deal according to his advice.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
