High Blood Pressure Support Group

I used to take that combination. It did deplete my potassium. I just foods that were high in potassium. At one point I had to take the liquid potassim. Banana's and potatoes are a good source. I had cramping in the calves of my legs due to it being low.

I just started tacking HCTZ (50 MG) along with K-Dur (20 MG) for potassium since HCTZ can deplete that. I'm taking this to counter act the side effects of Lyrica - which I take for cronic nerve pain. I take both this 3 times a week (M, W & F). My BP isn't high - so we'll see what happens. Will keep you guys posted!

I take Atenolol and HCTZ. I follow a low sodium diet and have no problems although I should add that my diet includes potatoes, poultry, fish, fresh mushrooms, and cantaloupe - not because of the potassium they contain but because I love them all...and luckily, they contain potassium.
