For High Blood Pressure "Been on Exforge 10/320 for a few months after being on straight Norvasc for 7 years - switched to 5/320 after too many dizzy spells. Now, tired - fall asleep at odd times - exhausted easily - sweat excessively when hot - blood pressure starting to stay up too much - chronic rhinitis with cough. Looking for something else."

For High Blood Pressure "I started taking Exforge 2 months ago and feel terrible. I have severe dizziness, palpitations, and lethargy. Doctor wants me to continue taking medication, but I’ve stopped. It makes me feel like I’m having a heart attack."

For High Blood Pressure "I was on metoprolol for several years, it kept my BP at 140/100 and sometimes lower, but then my body adjusted, and my BP was all over the charts. Three specialists later, I ended up taking four pills in the morning and two every evening, a total of six pills per day. A new doctor said those doses were too high. I was sent to another specialist five days ago, and he started me on Exforge. The second day, I was in the emergency room because I felt like I was having a heart attack, I could not stand up without my heart and pulse rate being out of control. On the third day, I ended up at my house doctor's practice to explain everything. I was told to take metoprolol with the new meds. Today, my BP dropped overnight to 94/60 from 149/101, I almost fainted. Side effects now: dizziness, chest cramps, no appetite, dry eyes."

For High Blood Pressure "I had been on 10 mg of Norvasc for years. After seeing my primary care doctor in January, she suggested I try Exforge. My BP was 170/80. Taking 5/160 made me feel sick to the stomach, dizzy, and I had developed an itch."
