The HCTZ depletes potassium and magnesium. So eating foods high in potassium is a good idea. You can take a magnesium supplement (but not OXIDE form) and see if that helps too.
200mg elemental of any chelate, or 2 SlowMags a day.
These are common nutritional problems with the drugs you mentioned.

Thank you very much mrsD. When you talk about the ACE inhibitor....which medication is that? I am assuming that the HCTZ is the Hydrochlorothiazide correct? I just had extensive blood work done on my last Dr's visit which was about 2 weeks ago. I do not know what they tested for but they said my bad cholesterol was a tiny bit high but good cholesterol was normal. They said all other tests were normal. I guess I will have to ask them what they tested for. Again, thanks for the info.
