For High Blood Pressure "I went in for my Medicare 1st physical for the insurance. I liked the doctor. My blood pressure was high, 191/113, which was about average for me. In fact, just days before my appointment it was 234/117. Anyway, he wanted me to go to the hospital. I said no and signed a paper so he would not be responsible. Fine. He then proceeded to have his assistant put a nitro bid 25 on my chest and sent me home with a prescription of clonidine. By the time I arrived home, my head was screaming off my shoulders. I was having chest pressure, weak, and could not function. I spent the next 3 days in bed. He said to keep it on for 6 hours. I was done at 5. My blood pressure went to 237/120. As far as the clonidine, let's see, it causes liver and kidney failure, makes you weak, fatigued, can't drive, headaches, causes you to lose your hair, and makes you nauseated. So how are these things helping my blood pressure? Oh, by the way, I felt great before going to the doctor."

For Anal Fissure and Fistula "I am just now starting this medication. I took it for the first time last night and got horribly dizzy and felt terrible. I had a headache, nausea, all that. I ended up passing out and feeling normal when I got up the next day. I then tried it again, but in a smaller dose today, and so far, I have a headache, but I don’t feel as bad as before. I have had an anal fissure for months now that bleeds every time I have a bowel motion. I am on stool softeners such as Colace and Miralax, and they seem to do the job to get me going. This all started from becoming super constipated a few months ago and forcing myself to poop. I really hope this medication works, as I am so sick of bleeding when I poop and tired of being so scared of it. I have had poops where I have almost no blood, and I have had poops where I have a lot and it’s all over the poop itself (usually after a rectal exam). I am running out of hope and so sick of feeling this sense of worry and anxiety. Any tips?"
