For High Blood Pressure "I have been taking Losartan 50 mg for 10 years. I had eclampsia with my second baby and never went back to normal. 5'10'', 158 lbs, very active 45-year-old woman. I exercise and am on a low-salt diet for years. It stopped working, and my cardiologist put me on Edarbi 80 mg. Worst drug I've tried. I've been on it for 3 weeks. My BP is getting higher and higher. Last reading of 180/100 today. From the second dose, I've had chest pressure, shortness of breath, really bad back pain, left arm pain, fluttering in my heart. I had never had any of these symptoms before. The only thing that has changed was Edarbi. I'm really scared and seeing my doctor tomorrow to stop this drug immediately. Not worked for me :("

For High Blood Pressure "I went on Edarbi 40 mg for 2 weeks with had up and down spikes, muscle pain in back, neck, and joints. DR increased it to 80 mg, developed chest pains with the other pains. Ended up in ER, kept overnight and given a stress test. After the stress test, I developed severe chest pain and EKG showed a problem. Now waiting for angiogram and taken off Edarbi, and put on Ramipril 5 mg X 2 a day. The angiogram is a 3 to 6 week wait!"

For High Blood Pressure "I started taking Edarbi for 20 days or so, and it was okay, but it seems just recently I felt weakness, fatigue, diarrhea, dehydration, chest pains, and facial spasm over my lip. I had to go to the emergency room for the overall feeling. I wasn’t sure how a medicine that started off okay could do this to me until I read all the reviews. It seems it’s okay for some and bad for others. I may have to look at other options."
