Brief Answer:
Further details needed.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Although there are a number of doctors online, it sometimes takes some time to find the right doctor for you. Sorry for the inadvertent delay caused in the process.

I would need to ask about your blood pressure and how long you have been on those medications. If your blood pressure is normal, I would need to ask you for the specific reason which makes you think that you should be taken off diuretic medication. I am also looking to know the exact complaints that you have.

I will wait for your response. Based on that I would guide you further. I would insist you not to self-medicate.

Regards
