Experiences with High blood pressure

Horrible- incredible pain in shoulders, upper arms, Extreme fatigue- all I could do was sleep, Completely lost my motivation to do anything and it took me a long time to put all this together My mental state was totally frightening Finally I wondered if it could be the Amlodipine- Went off of it- upped my Potassium to high dose 1500 mg- after 2 days- it was amazing, pain gone- mental ...

I'll never use this again, i've had cancer once and that's more then enough.

I've used this twice so far. The first time i had troublesome side effects, but it's not clear to me if it was from my other medication or this. My blood pressure is now down to normal after taking it for 14 days.

Everything has gone well through the years. This is definitely something that i want more of but i can't. Probably has something to do with old age.

low heart rate for the first few days, fatigued and listless, couldn't ride my bike. Decided to halve my dose myself and progressively increased it based on my own experience as a nurse. Haven't got any symptoms any more and I'm really happy.

As soon as I started taking this medication, I started getting a lot of joint pain in the mornings, especially in my legs: ankles and knees.

Terrible medicine. Wasn't even taking it for a month and I can't even list all the side effects. Putting on more and more weight. Decided to stop taking it today!

I have atacand for my blood pressure, but the odd side effect is that I get a nagging pain on the LHS of my chest. I wonder if anyone else has this same problem.

Been on this for a few days. Now got bad back ache, stomach pain, headache. Stopped taking this poison immediately. Made me feel really sick. Does anyone know of a better drug?

Because of TIAs and high BP, I've been on metoprolol for years, starting with once a day on 100 mg most recently up to 200 mg. I'm always tired, my BP is getting higher, I'm unsettled, not sleeping well. Does anyone else have experience with this and is there a better drug for reducing BP without other symptoms?

The only bad thing about Amlodipine Accord is that the tablets are quite rough and are difficult to swallow. This meant that after taking them I had a bit of a sore throat.

Treatment of an average hypertension for about five years. No side effect or difference between the generic and Amlor. 100% satisfaction.

I have no more tension but very handicapping side effects: Total loss of libido, difficulties in maintaining an erection all accompanied by permanent fatigue.

Blood pressure lowered with 75 points to 130/79. At first a lot of itching and not feeling well. That subsided. I still have a terrible cough that won't go away. Before this I used an ACE inhibitor, that made me cough as well. very irritating.

I was prescribed this because my blood pressure was still extremely high (over 230). And it does what it's supposed to do: my blood pressure has gone back down to normal. But I have definitely noticed the side effects, worst of all fatigue. This should have gone away by now, after 4 weeks, but it hasn't. On top of that I have now also always got cold hands (which I never had before, never even...

I had this medicine for 3 months. I had to cough more often, that’s the only side effect I noticed at first. More side effects appeared after a while (shortness of breath, fatigue, stomach ache, painful legs). I was quite fit before, but this medicine made it hard to keep up walking and running. Without this medicine I’m once again able to keep up with my running group. Now I’m taking Amplodipi...

taken medicines for years (TIA). Blood pressure stayed steady at 120/80. Recently started taking atenolol 50 mg because my blood pressure increased to 188/90. After two weeks it sank down to 144/50.

The cardiologist gave me 2 x 50 mg without looking at the other medicines I was taking. One week later I was in intensive care with three infusions and seven people fighting for my life. My potassium level was at 6.9 (lethal) and my blood pressure was 80/40. Humph.

Blood pressure is now stable at 140/90 (was 190/110). Really irritated eyes, blurred vision - not all the time but changeable. I did stop for a while 4 weeks ago and it did seem to get a bit better. But when I restarted it got worse again.
