Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

it may be combination of emotional stress and tiazide medication if you started to take it recently. Also, you should check your BP frequently to see if there are BP variations which may lead to dizziness and fatigue. In this case youz should switch antihipertensive drug and try with other solutions. ALso, check blood sugar as well and potassium levels which may be abnormal in people who take hydroclotiazide.
