User Reviews for Tenormin Calendar Pak oral

I was experiencing a stressful time in my life, my BP went high and I was put on 25mgs Tenormin od. My pulse dropped to 50-60 bpm and I could not get it very high when exercising. I swim for 2-3 hours per week. I walk a lot and don't sit down much even in the evenings because I have no TV. The side effects I noticed were: Hair loss by the handful Weight gain Abnormal thirst Tiredness after activity Agitation of mind Sleeplessness My doctor saw me again and said my BP was higher and put me on 50mgs od. My brain seemed to scramble, I could not concentrate or sleep for repetitive music or worries going round in my head I started to feel arrhythmias when I exercised and when I lay down to sleep. My BP went HIGHER My doctor said that BP was rarely controlled by one drug alone. I am a very active person, I walked 27 miles in 9 hours, not bad for a veteran, especially over stony challenging moorland. It has seemed to me the low pulse restricted my heart to the point my body had no option but to pump harder and enlarge my heart. I have stopped the Tenormin and take Co enzyme Q10 and my BP has returned to normal and the side effects have disappeared. I have 1mg (one milligram) of Diazepam to take if I feel very stressed and that seems to be both occasional and effective. Read More Read Less
