Hello,
Hydrochlorthiazide is one of the medicines that are used in hypertensive patients. Every medicine has some common side effects so does this one. The doctor must have prescribed this medicine to you after careful evaluation of your condition considering more benefits in mind. So do not worry and take the medicine as per the doctor's advice.
Do not change the medicine or dosage on your own. You will be alright. If you observe any unusual symptoms then contact your doctor. He will be able to guide you best as he is well aware of your overall health.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
