For High Blood Pressure "I am 52 years old and have struggled with chronic high blood pressure for about 6 years. I have used Exforge as a supplement blood pressure medication for about 2 years. At the dosage of 10/160 mg, I did experience some swelling and weight gain, but it was manageable. However, after recently (45 days ago) being increased to 10/320 mg dosage, I immediately developed an almost constant dry, unproductive, and painful cough, very sore throat, sinus problems, some additional swelling, and unprecedented tiredness. I will stop taking this medication due to the uncontrollable coughing, sore throat, and resulting headache. The higher dosage did assist in dropping my lower number, but the side effects are too excessive. I will seek other alternatives."

For High Blood Pressure "Wish I had seen these reviews earlier. Have been on Exforge 5/160 for 2 years, recently upped to 10/160. It has brought my blood pressure down. Knew the side effects of the cough, and I can deal with it. I didn't know why I was tired all the time and became anxious when I had that 'heavy' feeling, with the tingling. Saw these reviews and asked the doctor about it, and he admitted that it may be what was causing my problems. Now that I know what is causing it, I feel much better about it."

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 "Been taking Exforge 5/160 for 1 month, and I can't shake this tired feeling. I'm having anxiety issues and weight loss! My pressure is coming down, but I don't like this tired feeling! I'm taking the generic brand, and it costs only $4! I hope my doctor will change it next week."

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 "Only been 10 days on Exforge and immediately felt better. Initially, I had tingling along my spine and in my head, which I'm glad someone else has had, as I didn't know it was the drug, and I started to panic. I have noticeable nipple enlargement, slightly dry mouth, and not as hungry as usual, which I'm glad about. It also helped with insomnia, but maybe a bit tired. Overall, pleased, and I definitely feel better."
