For High Blood Pressure "Started Coversyl 2.5 mg after my readings would show an average of 150/95. I took the first dose in the morning, and at night when going to bed, I got tachycardia, which lasted 3 hours. 150 bpm average, and it wouldn't stop. Very scary. The first 10 days were horrible: dizziness, lightheadedness, hypertension crisis, you name it. The diastolic number went down, but not the systolic one. Average reading 145/75. Experienced anxiety and panic disorder. Went to the emergency room because I was feeling very unwell. They increased the dose to Coversyl 5 mg. It was even worse, and I went to a cardiologist afterwards, who switched me to a beta blocker."

For High Blood Pressure "I took Coversyl 8 mg for 5 weeks, and finally had to stop. The lightheadedness would start about an hour after taking the pill in the morning (about 8:00 AM), and would continue for the next 11-12 hours until the drug's effects wore off for that day. Some days, it was so bad I could not drive my car. Also, my appetite decreased, I had a terrible taste in my mouth, and it did NOT control my BP as well as they advertised. Finally, I said goodbye to this tablet and went back to my good old dependable Avapro 300 mg, which I had taken for 8 years before my cardiologist convinced me to go to Coversyl. What a mistake."

For High Blood Pressure "I use Coversyl Plus HD. It has a diuretic. I don't know if the medication is working or not because I take Doxazosin and Atenolol as well. There are some days when I feel lightheaded for a couple of hours, then that will wear off. I don't know if the medications are to blame or if something else is going on. I saw an internist last July, and he blames the lightheadedness on the Atenolol. Garbage! I know my body, and I'm sure it is not the Atenolol. I have muscle problems in my neck, also disc problems. I have burning sensations in my legs (blamed on what's going on in my spine). I'm at total wit's end with it all. I was taught that if there's something going on in the body that's not normal, then of course the body will react: hypertension."

For High Blood Pressure "Exhausted, falling asleep at work, dry cough for 4 months and still got it. Agonizing pains in thighs and bum, painful walking, just want to sit in a chair after work, not like me at all. My blood tests and X-rays all normal, rashes on chest, water infections, dizzy, lightheaded. I had enough, chucked them in the bin, 8 mg for 7 months, waiting for an alternative BP tablet from the doctor tomorrow. Who wants to keep blacking out halfway through the day at work, at a show, pantomime, etc.? Felt shocking, not for me."
