Yes, high BP meds do tend to thin the hair, I too take amlodipine & ramipril and have the same problem of almost no hair, now. Yes when you take the water tablet it will make you go to the loo every half & hour so that there is no swelling in the ankles & legs.
Please take all the meds with the consultation of your doc., do not stop or start to take any meds with a prescription.
Take care, be safe & well, please, best wishes!
