I don't know what to say about my case as I am a sales executive and have to travel a lot I give importance to regular fitness exercises and do every little bit to keep myself healthy, however all of a sudden I encountered over urination problems for which the doctor recommended me metolazone. But now I often feel tired and seem to be very lethargic at times. What is causing this?

Loop Diuretic

He put you on a loop diuretic?
You need to know the cause of the urinary problems, obstructive, hypertension, diabetes, infection, you need to know this to know the treatment regime
this will make you go pee more, and it will lower your blood pressure a bit, and can cause potassium depletion, as well as calcium magnesium and even sodium, so you have to watch your electrolytes especially given you're not being prescribed this for hypertension
