Affective use lowers my BP in a hurry. I will go to urine no holding for long go go go. Libido has its challenges but lasts longer in action.

The medication brought my BP down, but I experienced severe side-effects. Swelling of ankles, extreme tiredness, dizziness, joint pain to such an extent that it became difficult to walk, constant mild headache, constant sore throat and cough, weight gain around the belly - and total loss of libido. My cardiologist suggested that i take the drug a night. This helped for the dizziness, but all the other symptoms continued. Today, my dr prescribed a different treatment.

My pre exiting medications weren't working. The doc prescribed these and made me take one in the office. I got home 2 hours later. My BP had fallen from 170 to 119. So far so good

Started with Hypertension Emergency; First treatment: Beta Blocker, ARB, Diuretic. Became intolerant of the Beta Blocker. Second treatment: After informative discussion, began ExForge HCT. Follow Up: ExForge HCT rapidly return blood pressure to pre-hypertensive Emergency. Have not experienced side effects. Reflection: Have been on ExForge HCT for two months. Medical compliance is greater due to factors: One pill eliminates three pills with their varied times of day dosage for better compliance. Psychologically, taking less pills equates to better health.

I have gone from Hypertension 2 down to normal very quickly. This is the only mediation that has proven to be affective for me.

Wonderful blood pressure readings - lowest in 10 years. However, my ankles were so swollen I could not wear tennis shoes, heart rate up, red splotchs on my legs. I had to stop using it and it broke my heart! Now I am back to yo-yoing bp drugs!

This medication works great in lowering my bp but, there are some nasty side effects that come along with that. Very tired, resting pulse is 90+, shortness of breath. Exercising is impossible because it makes my chest feel tight and the heart pounding is scary.
