For High Blood Pressure "Just been upped to 16 mgs... BP won't settle... started off on 1 mg... personally had no side effects, and even if there were... better that than high BP... mine was 200/203 at one point... I was on indapamide but taken off as the 2 do not mix."

"Took 1 8 mg Cardura daily. Experienced dizziness and nausea for the first 3 days but later adjusted to the medication and maintained pressure around 120/80. On doctor's advice, Cardura was discontinued and replaced with alternative medication due to excessively fast pulse/heart rate up to 100 bpm after 6 months on Cardura."
