    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! DD

    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 xx
