My pcp is suggesting I add a diueretic to my bp med if my blood pressure continues to be borderline high. I have to go back in sometime next week to have it re checked. It has been going up and down from 140s/low 80s to normal.

Are there any issues I should be aware associated with taking a diueretic and ms. I am concerned it may cause increased muscle spasms. I have been occasionally retaining fluid in my ankles/feet if I sit too long (at desk or traveling) so I believe that is the other reason she is suggesting it.

I did not think to ask her about muscle aches.
