Can diuretics cause you to have very dry skin, blurred vision, cold hands and feet when exposed to cold? I m taking a diuretic and thyroid medication and have been for a while also was taking another high blood pressure with the diuretic. I have been experiencing discoloration in my fingernails and toenails, when it s cold out I m colder then most. My hands and feet are peeling and bleeding. My blurred is terrible I m being told it s dry eyes. I keep going to doctors for all these issues. My family doc and eye doc

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have blurred vision and dry skin. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , diabetes, infection in ear , meniere's disease , medications side effects , allergic reaction and anxiety disorders . Other reasons can be low iron and sugar level in blood like in diabetic condition . I would suggest you to wash your eyes with cold water twice a day , wear glasses to protect them for dust and eat healthy diet . Do not stain your eyes too much and take ibuprofen for pain .I would suggest you to to go for your appointment to your doctor . Doctor may order CT scan , check for intraocular pressure , ophthalmoscopy , refraction and blood testing to determine if bacteria is in the blood and treat accordingly like prescribing antibiotics and anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for sinusitis like problem or cardiologist for stroke like condition .
