For High Blood Pressure "Took 12.5 mg at bedtime for 5 months. Felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. Made me very anxious. Chest and back pain. Did not do much for blood pressure but was on a low dose. Glad to be off this medication."

For High Blood Pressure "Have used Hyzaar for several years now in conjunction with other medicines for Type 2 Diabetes. Until recently, I used this and never had any side effects other than a slight cough occasionally. My ACTOS is now apparently struggling with my body to keep insulin at levels to keep my blood sugar under control. With two issues, my anxiety attacks and dizziness have been more frequent. I have taken a few days of complete regime (food, sugar control, etc.), and things are coming back in line. My trip to the ER pointed to a muscle deterioration issue which I have to take up with my doctor, a side effect mentioned for this drug. Weight gain and fluid retention are creeping back after many years of smooth sailing."

For High Blood Pressure "This drug made me go to the hospital. It gave me a bad headache, so I took some cold and sinus medicine. Bad mistake. Heart PVCs (skipped beats), severe anxiety, and a 196/115 pressure reading at the worst of it. I was in the hospital for 2 days. I have had bouts of anxiety now for the last week, things are getting better. I have now radically changed my diet. I am exercising and getting the weight off. I am 49 years old, 5'9', and 201 pounds. This is a loss of 11 pounds for me. If you are like me and this happens to you, ditch the caffeine as well, it seems to help."
