What's pee got to do, got to do with it?

| | Comments (2)
My primary care doc has me taking Maxzide for my high blood pressure.
All this is, is a diuretic, it simply makes you pee.
Drugs.com has this to say about what this drug does;
"Diuretics help your body produce and eliminate more urine, which helps lower blood pressure."

I want to know why urinating lowers your blood pressure.
Like how does peeing constantly, help lower your blood pressure?

It helps to reduce the sodium in your body. The more you pee, the more sodium you get rid of, the more sodium you get rid of, the lower your BP should go.

I'm on BP meds PLUS a diuretic because my BP is so out of whack.

Dad took this a long time ago for his blood pressure and
his heart problems. Make sure you keep track of your blood pressure while on this but
it does work.
