hydrochlorothiazide and light headedness, has anyone else experienced this?

This is my first day taking it for BP (can't get the diastolic number down) and the dizziness hit me like a ton of bricks. Will this ever subside?

It's pretty normal to get dizziness with the medication, but you will want to let your doctor know about it so they can adjust the medicine accordingly- it's not something you want to ignore, so talk to your doctor.

yes I have experienced light headedness, so my doctor suggested I take half a tablet in the morning and half at night.  This has helped dramatically.
