Hydrochlorothiazide I have antiphospolipid syndrome (APS) I was given HCTZ for blood pressure and after two weeks my body went hatwire. This resulted in severe resperatory distress, intubated for 3 days had heart attack was kept alive w/ macinery & drugs. Later realized this triggered catastrophic antiphospolipid syndrome. After researching found that this is a known trigger- to late for me. Two years later I still don't have all the feeling back in my legs and have lung and kidney damage.
