Is it allowed to take Chlorthalidone during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Thiazidic diuretic. Long-term treatment with diuretic drugs (particularly those Thiazides with long lasting effect and loop-acting drugs) may inhibit lactation. Use a lower dose as possible, especially during the first postnatal month.

Chlorthalidone sent me to the hospital after 3 days with extreme rapid heart rate upon just walking normally. It worked a bit to lower my blood pressure but anything that messes with the rhythm of my heart is a no go. If you take it, please look out for an elevated heart rate. I got blood work done and everything was in range but for some reason this medication messes with my heart rate which sucks.

The medicine was great for lowering my pressure; however the chest pain I get from it sent me to the hospital several times. I had to stop using the medicine. My chest was tight and heavy. The feeling is a very uncomfortable one. I also have face numbness on my left second whenever I take this medicine. I�m sure it works for others, but for me, the side effects are enough to say no.

Ive only been on it for like a week but my BP has never been better... But the frequent urination might drive me to my breaking point! Otherwise, im fine.
