I HAD TO SEE MY DOC FOR A PRE-OP . AFTER THE EXAM, HE SAID MY PRESSURE WAS TOO HIGH (160/80). I FEEL GREAT AND ALL ELSE WAS WONDERFUL. TO ENSURE THAT THE UPCOMING PROCEDURE IS NOT DENIED, HE GAVE ME PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HYDROCHLOROT AND KLOR-CON. WHEN ASKED WHY, HE SAID TO LOWER THE BP. I DO NOT LIKE TAKING ANY? THING EXCEPT VITAMINS AND FEEL GREAT. WHY THE 2 MEDICATIONS AND WHY GIVE THEM PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE.

Hello, Lucee! How are you?

As your doctor said, they may refuse to do the procedure, if your blood pressure is too high and they feel you may not be stable.

Thus, it is best to take the medications, as prescribed. They Hydochlorothiazide is a diuretic that removes excess fluid from the body to help lower blood pressure and the Klor-Con is a potassium supplement that is often given, because the diuretic can deplete the levels of potassium in your body.

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and dehydration.

The potassium supplement can also be very harsh on the stomach, so it should be taken with food.

Is there anything else I can help with?
