I have asthma and have had persistant coughing; finally went to a pulmonologist and the coughing is a side effect of this medication that no one has notted anywhere tha i have seen--here i have been suffering to the point of increasing nebulizer treatments--think this should be at least a warning somewhere for people to know about!!

I've been taking 10 mg daily since 8/2001. Works great for me. Without it 165/99. with it 126/72. I had some of the side effects for the first couple of months. Now all is good.

My pressure this morning was 160/114. This is consistant with the last month or so. I took my first pill at about noon. I checked my pressure at 11:30pm and it is at 105/82. This is a little scary as I did not expect results this dramatic this quickly. Is this at all normal?

The Dr. increased my dose, but I have not yet begun the new dosage. In the past, it has kept my blood pressure down but last visit it was back up to 160. I believe this may be causing me to cough regularly, but not sure if this can be the reason. Might be my cat :( Other than that, I don't think I've had any side effects.

Doctor is packing and stacking patients. Runs the through in five to seven minutes after a two-hour wait. Just PAY before you leave whether you're happy or not with the sevice you got.
