Blood pressure meds are renowned for side effects. I stopped taking mine and I feel so much better. The humira caused a rise in my BP which meant stronger drugs to reduce it. I tried them and felt dreadful - What's the point of lower blood pressure when you face a lethargy so intense you don't want to get out of bed?
I gave up smoking to reduce my BP - and it went up. Another myth peddled by docs.
The Husband is also on them, and I so wish he wasn't. He has the classic, masculine side effect that the docs never tell you about. I suppose that on the plus side his BP is controlled, so he'll be with me for longer! DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0 -
must admit have tried everything not to have to go on them but nothing worked lol and it much higher than good for me. will see how it goes .val0

Hi Val,
I rally hope they don't give you side effects and work fast. I have low bp (well one arm does) so have never had them..... Fingers crossed for you. Cris xx0
