Side effects of bp meds.

Q: Can my BP meds contribute to Chronic Dry Eye; I’m age 62, female, taking Torsemide 5mg and Nifediac CC 30mg.

A: It is certainly possible your medications are contributing to your dry eyes.  Torsemide is a diuretic so it forces your body to loose water.  A known side effect of Nifediac is making eyes sensitive to light.  The combination of being a little dry with increased light sensitivity would  make a dry eye problem feel worse.
