 5  Hypertension Dizziness, swelling of feet. I didn't react to Norvasc alone, so my doctor put me on Azor. I have very little problems with the dizziness, just when I am lying down and stand up, and I don't experience the swelling of my feet every day as long as I stay hydrated. This is expensive - $45 with my insurance but my doctor gave me a discount card from the pharmaceutical that says I will never pay more than $25 for Azor. BTW, my hypertension is genetic. My dad began having problems around the same age. 33 45 days
5-20mg 1X day

 5  High Blood Pressure A little lightheaded, foot pain, dizziness when I first started taking it. I love this stuff! I was on Toprol XL for 6 years and had horrid side effects. My doctor switched me to Azor about 3 months ago and I have very little side effects. My blood pressure has went from 140/90 to 90/60 - can your blood pressure get too low? I never thought I would be asking that! F 48 3 months

She is 11. I have taken for one year already and I have not gain any weight since then. F 47 1 years

 5  High Blood Pressure None, taken before retiring. Drops blood pressure fast. Had 196/120. Stable in a few days. Was taking a Lotrel generic, and it was awful. Muscle/joint pain, backache, dizziness. Blurry vision was the worst part. All went away next day after switching to Azor. It's pricey, but only a few dollars more than the generic Lotrel anyway. 10 days

 5  high blood pressure Dizziness when first taking it during day, switched to taking it at bedtime. Only day 5 of taking it though I may be able to take it during the day now and not have the dizziness. I was taking the horrible Lotrel previously and had all kinds of bad side effects. Switched doctors because the previous one insisted I keep taking Lotrel. New doc prescribed Azor 10/20. After 5 days of taking it at bedtime my blood pressure dropped from 150-160/105-120 to 124/80 this morning. M 38 5 days
