 1  HBP Flushing, high anxiety at first, then extreme lethargy, head clouded up, unable to function or move, joint pain like arthritis, peripheral burning pain neuropathy in feet, hands, and legs, late night cramping, overall bad feeling... much like flu-like pain, then after 10 days, severe puffiness, swelling in ankles and feet, nausea, vomiting, as if chemically poisoned... So I Stopped it.... Yikes this stuff is crazy nuts! Too bad because it did lower my BP. Yet isn't a medicine supposed to make you feel better than sicker? This stuff made me feel very sick... Rather live a short life feeling great with all my marbles, than a long worthless life sick as a dog! M 62 14 days

 2  High Blood Pressure Headaches, palpitations and a little shortness of breath. My doctor gave me 4 weeks of samples for AZOR. The first 3 days I felt fine. Any swelling in my feet and hands were gone after I started the AZOR. On day 4, I started having really bad headaches. By day 5, palpations started. The evening of day 7 I was feeling crazy. My heart was racing and my head was pounding. I felt like I was full of anxiety. I was clearly headed towards a panic attack. On day 8, I forgot to take it. Half way through the day, I realized the headaches were completely gone and the palpations were almost non existence. I think the way to go is through weight loss. Not worth the headaches. I don't recommend AZOR! F 45 7 days

 1  Stroke level hypertension My BP was stroke level. We're talking 200/120. Dr prescribed azor BP immediately went down. Few weeks later started having intimacy issues and loss of sex drive. Dr checks blood and starts me on testosterone replacement injections. The injections worked for about a week or so after I would take them and would wear off after. Even while they were working I still had a limp noodle. I dealt with this for over 2 years and finally one day something just told me to Google reviews of the drug azor. I stumbled upon this site and started reading the numerous reviews of low T, ED, swollen breasts, weight gain, headaches. Immediately I called my doctor and asked if we could try something different for BP med and told him of my findings. At this point I was 10 hours from home working for a month in the middle of nowhere. The nurse calls and said he won't make any changes until he sees you in the office. I was depressed that I thought I had found a solution to the problem I had battled for 2 years and my doctor whom was normally understanding of these things wouldn't do anything. I came home from work and immediately found a new physician told him of my findings he said let's try it. He writes the script for loesartan and low and behold 3 days after I dropped azor I got my erection back. Azor gave an indication of low testosterone and the symptoms of low T. I battled this for 2 long years. It nearly ruined my marriage. My wife and I usually have an active sex life. This drug is terrib Do NOT take this drug if you're a male. It will kill your sex life and make you feel like crap M 32 2 years
