Yes, hydrochlorthiazide can cause low potassium.
If your potassium is low because of it, your doctor might prescribe extra potassium for you to take. Another option would be to change your blood pressure medication to something other than a diuretic. Given that I don’t know your other medical issues, it would be best to talk to your doctor about the options.
