Diaretic symptoms and conditions

My husband is on Lisinopril-10mg. The Dr. called today and still isn't happy with his BP, so they are adding a diuretic. He is also on Atenolol-50mg.
He has to pee constantly. I am concerned that he will become dehydrated taking water pill. Dr. wasn't concerned when I told him that even hearing water makes him pee.

Any one else have this issue?

About a month ago, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure (160/101). I am a 46 year old female in pretty good shape. I exercise weekly, eat pretty good, and I am not overweight or stressed. My doctor said it is hereditary, and he put on Verapamil and a diaretic for one month and my pressure did go down, but never went to the normal level (120/80). I was finally begnning to feel better and get back into my normal exercise routine. My doctor decided to add the Lisinopril and take me off the fluid pill along with the Verapamil. I took my first pill (Lisinopril) yesterday, and within a few hours, I started to feel nauseous and weak. By the time I got home from work I was feeling lightheaded, and sluggish and wasn't breathing normal. It was to the point that I didn't feel like going to my exercise class. I even struggled to walk my dog--moving a little slower than normal and got really overheated and it was 40 degress in my areaa. Then, later on that night, I woke up with this bad pain/cramping feeling in my upper abdomen that I have never felt before as well as diarrhea. I couldn't figure out what the problem was. It didn't feel like heartburn or gas and I usually don't have stomach issues. It keeped me up all night to the point I had to get up and walk around and sit up in the chair. So I took some pepto bismol because that was all I had, but it didn't help. I woke up this morning and felt a little better except my throat was beginning to feel dry. I took another Lisinopril, and the pain in my stomach immediately came back in my stomach. I will not be taking another one. I put a call into my doctor to give me something else because I don't like how I feel. I will see what he recommends, or I will take some herbal supplements to help balance my blood pressure with the Verapamil. I usually don't have problems with most durgs, but I noticed a big difference in this one. At first I was thinking my body has to get used to it, but after reading your emails, I would rather try something with a little less side effects. My doctor did tell me that if I started to get a dry cough to discontinue the Lisinopril, and call him immediately. I can feel my throat getting dry already this morning so I am not going to wait until I get a cough that I can't control. Just remember to consult your doctor before stopping your meds. I wish you all the best.

I've been taking maxide for about three years due to blood presure and as a diaretic. Within the first month of taking the medication I experienced a loss of libido. I took it for granted that I was just getting older but after I stopped taking maxide for about a week my libido returned. As other people have reported I did suffer from leg cramps, tightness in the fingers, hands and feet.
