I think there should be a specialty in medicine for people suffering from medication side effects
and for those who are hypersensitive to medications. I need to be on medication for high blood pressure.
I have tried HCTZ, toporal XL, Verapamil, Atacand, and am now on Coreg.
The doctors are getting fed up with me because I can't tolerate the side effects, but I can't help it. I wish they could feel what I feel so they would know this is no picnic for me. I would do anything to see straight again! I have not seen straight in 4 months now!
I am on Coreg now and my blood pressure is good ; in the 120/70s but I have extreme dizziness, ringing in my ears,
blurry vision, occasionally I have SOB, headache at the base of my skull, and sometimes it feels like my eyes have all the fluid sucked out of them! When I lower the dose of the med it gets better, but when I try to go off the med things get worse! I am so tired of trying meds. I feel like a guiney pig. But I have tried to control with diet and then my blood pressure goes up I get dizziness and blurry vision and my heart rate goes up. I know millions of people are on Blood pressure meds, so they must be tolerated. Does anyone else have this problem?
