 3  to switch off ACE after 12+ yrs Blood pressure generally less than 120/80, much lower at night and when wake up. Azor at full 5-20 or benicar alone 20mg tend to nod out in evening, can fade while driving. BUT tinnitus is MUCH quieter and softer than with ACE, no lump in throat, senses of taste and smell much improved. Subject to sinus infections -- complicates air travel. after starting benicar, then azor, noticed hair loss, lower testosterone, rising PSA. anyone else notice these as side effects? or just coincidence?

 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

 4  high blood pressure nose stuffs up at 3:30 or 4:30 A.M. every day. Works great!! Was taking Toprol. Toprol was letting B.P. get160/105. Toprol also caused stuffy nose but not as bad as azor. Azor lets B.P. get no higher than 145/96 (right out of bed, first thing in the morning). Within 2 hr. of waking B.P. usually goes to around 125/75. 12 hr. Vicks nose spray won't help with stuffy nose. Only thing that works is sit upright until head clears. M 61 90 days

 4  hypertension slight chest tightening (shortness of breath) Have tried 4 other and no luck with lowering BP and horrible side effects. Researched Azor through this site and drug.com and asked my doctor if I could try it. Hurrah! Lower blood pressure after six weeks and barely any side effects....horrible insomnia with others. Atenolol brought my pulse to 45!! (No wonder i felt like I was dragging!) Hurrahy for Azor after MONTHS of trying many others and having bad effects and no help in lowering my blood pressure! F 60 3 months

 2  hypertension Headache, esp. when laying down. Bad interaction with Valium 5mg, which I took three times while on the Azor, and experienced crippling tendon and muscle pains that lasted for days each time. Does not have much of a stabilizing effect on my episodic high blood-pressure. Expensive. F 60 14 days

 1  Hypertension Was on Exforge for 3 years became ineffective so mDr. started me on Azor. Had extreme itching and burning of skin nose started breaking out badly. Dermatologist said Azor(calcium channel blocker) could have triggered Rosacea. I'd almost rather have the high blood pressure. I understand Azor main ingredient contains vasodilator which could be a trigger for rosacea. M 60 30 days
