Hi guys,

I have discovered that Jtu91952 and myself have episodes of profuse sweating that comes on suddenly. If you are experiencing the same and are on hypertensive medication, please reply and include the names of the meds you are taking. We would really like to get to the bottom of this. Thanks

I experience excessive sweating when the weather is hot. Even my hair gets soaked. I take Vasotec, Novo Hydrazide, and Celexa.

My husband has bouts of feeling warm and sweating. Usually when he is napping. He has had a heart attack previously ( 10 yrs ago ) He is on Atenolol 50mg.

DANGER:
If you are taking any diuretics like HCTZ or chlorthalidone, your blood volume is kept at a safe minimum (one hopes) to keep BP down. If you add heat stress and excessive sweating you can dehydrate easily. I almost keeled over a couple week after HCTZ, unbearable heat and humidity and THEN a half hour in the gym's steam room...I thought I wasn't going to make it out of the locker room...felt awful for hours...heart rate up to 100, BP down to 90/60.

I ate some salty pretzels, orange juice and 500 mg Mg++ with several glasses of water but still recovery was slow.
