Overall, I have been satisfied with the results. My blood pressure has been down since I started taking Exforge. Some mild side effects: runny nose, congestion; diarrhea.

Satisfied up til now. But after 2 1/2 months I'm getting some real bad side effects. Dizzy, nightmares, loss of energy, weakness of legs, numbness in feet and now a closeness in my chest. Back to the Doc for a full blood workup ASAP. I hate new meds! Ya never know what they really do to you.

I went to the hospital and I had been on Benicar. Blood pressure kept spiking so the doctor gave me this med. I've had a lot of flushing since being on this but not sure if this is the cause. I've also had a slight headache since then. Any ideas?
