For High Blood Pressure "Too soon to tell, but noticed an immediate sense of well-being. Better sleep (> apnea), less frequent urination, but now I see that is one side effect. Also noted feet swelling in the first 3 days, but that may be attributable to dietary factors. Overall, a very observable increase in energy."

For High Blood Pressure "Started taking Azor in 2013, and it worked beautifully controlling my blood pressure. However, in 2013, I also started having problems with my face swelling (as if I had the mumps). The facial swelling was evident after an infection (sinus, ear, etc.) and would disappear after a course of antibiotics. Earlier this year, the problem recurred and was worse than ever before. The swelling didn't subside. I had ultrasounds, CT scans, and saw three different ENTs before the third one told me Azor was causing the problem. If you check the side effects, facial swelling is listed."

For High Blood Pressure "I take this medicine for elevated blood pressure. If you have swelling or itching or elevated liver tests, quit taking it. Also, not recommended for heart failure patients. But if, like me, you have uncomplicated high blood pressure, it is fabulous. It is covered by all major insurance plans. I gave it a 10, even though I get some impotence with it. But it is excellent in keeping my pressure down within 30 minutes after taking it. My blood pressure is 160/106, so I am on the lower dose of 5/20. Good luck on this medicine."

For High Blood Pressure "AZOR was great for the first couple of weeks as blood pressure was in the perfect 115/75 range. I noticed my feet swelling and turning very red. My blood sugar spiked to 250-276 (highest ever), and now I have nerve damage in my feet. A 61-year-old male with pre-diabetes, but my feet never bothered me before this. I am not sure if AZOR caused this, but the timing sure seems like it. Sad because it really did a good job of controlling blood pressure for the month I was on it."
