I started 6.25 twice a day (replaced Losartan HCTZ 50/12.5) about a month ago after platelets kept dropping, hoping to manage portal hypertension. I found myself fatigued and weak, and also suddenly started having trouble walking when I got up, and my wrists and ankles - now add knee - started hurting to the point I bought support braces! So looked up this blog.
I am going to go back to the other BP med and see if it alleviates these new problems. Are these "commm0on side effects" does anyone know?

Look at the list of side effects in above post. Blood pressure can be lowered by correct diet. Eat more fruits and veggies, whole grains, seeds and nuts, and few animal products do not have high blood pressure. Also walking in fresh air.
