I have been on this for about a year and now am experienceing intense lower back pain (radiating from tailbone), sore legs,fatigue, nausea and no appetite. This does not go away. Thought it was a flu bug. Anybody else?

This medication has caused high uric acid in my urine, it has also caused red pin dots on my skin, and has increased my blood sugar level. I have also suffered with ocular problems since taking this medication!

Although it did help lower my BP it has given me a constant dry cough, sore throat, insomnia and cold/flu sysmptoms. I have also experienced blurred vision, back and chest pains and rapid heartbeat.

After 3 days of being on this medication I began to experience muscle weaknesss and blurred vision. I couldn't even hold my arms up when washing my hair. I stopped taking this med and noticed that the weakness went away. Restarted the med and noticed the same symptoms had returned. So I d/c'd the medicine and contacted my physician.

I originally was put on a high dose,, then cut in half because I was feeling overall crappy and had extremely dry mouth,, went to half a pill, still had the dry mouth although not as bad, had pressure in my head and slight chest pain while taking,, also developed a hemorrage in the eye,, not sure if this caused this or not,, it did relieve the swelling i get in my legs, it was not as bad,, if it did not make me feel like crap I diffently would take

My physician withdrew it because of low blood pressure. About a week later I developed gout like symptoms in my feet and overall foot pain. I have less upper body pain but quite a bit of continuing neck pain which I had for years.

After trying 12 drugs for hypertension, with strong side effects from each, Hyzaar had the least side effects and controlled the blood pressure.
