For High Blood Pressure "This Edarbi is the 3rd medicine they have tried on me. Bad side effects. By far, this is the worst. I thought it was going to be the end of me!!!! Numbers went very low, 90/50, so went on half dose. Still low. The drug made me tired and totally fatigued. Lightheaded, also jittery feeling. Nausea, muscle spasms very severe. My pulse/heart rate would spike up to 155!!! The severe side effects did not begin until about the 5th week. Headaches were unbearable!! This drug has threatened my life!!! I stopped it, I'd rather take my chances with fasting and natural remedies!!"

For High Blood Pressure "Started Edarbi a week ago after getting off of Losartan because of bad muscle cramps. My blood pressure has never been better, 120/74. But I barely could move because of being so tired. Bad headache and overall out of it. I couldn’t even drive. I tried splitting the pill and took half. Same result. Not for me at all."

For High Blood Pressure "Tried this drug for 5 days. Nausea, dizziness, headache, brain fog. First day was okay, symptoms got worse every day afterwards. Went to the doctor because my head hurt so bad. Doctor took me off and put me back on Diovan. Insurance will not pay for Diovan but will pay for Edarbi, which costs more than Diovan."
