¿Question #3628?
[Deleted user]: [deleted question]

2ndinBeautyContest: because they are bastards
anarchy: I haven't taken the six years of Med School to answer that question in an educated manner.
vandemonium: Vast right wing conspiracies and blah blah blah.
Hector Vortac: Don't diuretics make you pee? Why would someone with high blood pressure need to pee so much?
Wibblenut: cos leeches are cheaper
kirkusmaximus: Different pharmaceutical reps call on them with better lunch menus.
ecobot3001: May lead to other problems?
DHEK: I don't know. Ask a doctor.
aleo09: i'm not a dr.
POvidiusNaso: Some doctors are morons.
Cut & Space: ask them not us
Ebon Wendigo: Don't they?
scriptorum: I'm sure this question is better suited for medicalgeek.com.
brainrob: I have NO idea
vampywife: maybe diuretics don't always work.
jasta6: don't know why?
Kazin: The what now?
Tennantgamer: diuretic will cause the blood to thicken as liquid is released, this causes more stress on the heart as it tries to pump and can easily lead to death
_Kael_: No experience there
djlg: Medicine isn't that simple.
ZombyDawg: Because they have another idea.
dietevil: Damn it, Cranky, I'm a programmer, not a doctor!
Mike A: Some people already eat enough chocolate, filled with the natural diuretic theobromine (which doesn't sound so natural when you say it).
GrandpaDave: To make you pee?
Lord_Prussian: You'd have to ask them.
ValJor: This question is out of my league
sourwyrm: don't know
Randy Cox: If doctoring were that simple, insurance company clerks would be prescribing medication instead. Oh, wait, they already do that.
puffinge: something more powerful is sometimes needed.
skrutsch: It's not always the best option?
jttm: Doesn't that depend on your health cover?
chaddyboy_2000: I have no idea.
skelebone: Just because your blood pressure is high, doesn't mean you can pee it out.
heli: forgetful?
CDRodeffer: You can't just pee everything out. Sometimes it's due to an infection, in which case I recommend one week on Zithromax (two pills the first day), followed by Minocyclene for a month, then do another hemoglobin A1c test.
