 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

 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

 1  high bp Terrible muscle pain in my legs mostly upper thighs. Also back pain. Not a day goes by where someone doesn't ask why I'm walking the way that I am because it has drastically changed the way I walk. I need help putting on my socks. My doctor thought it was my cholesterol medication and I came off it for a while with no change but after doing my own research and reading your comments I think I may have found my answer.

 1  HBP My doctor switched me from Benicar HCT to Azor HCT. The first day I took Azor, I had dizziness, tightness in my chest, and a "strange" over all feeling I couldn't identify. I called and she recommended I try 1/2 pill per day which I did for the next 2 days. I still had dizziness and realized the "strange" feeling was an anxiety attack from the other side effects. The next day, I resumed taking Benicar HCT. F 58 3 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

 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

 2  high blood pressure swelling of feet, jittery, fatigue, light headed, strange sensation that is hard to explain I was taking Diovan, but after reading of its possible side effects that matched what I experiencing, I asked my doctor to switch me to something else. He gave me a two week trial of Azor. The first couple of days, maybe 3-4, I felt okay, but then my feet starting swelling even more than usual. At the three hour mark each morning, I would get very fatigued and light headed, and like I was going to pass out. I also felt like I was shaking on the inside, though it couldn't be observed on the outside. My hands were steady, but they didn't feel like they were. Each evening, the symptoms would pass, only to return the next morning a few hours after taking Azor. I've never experirenced low blood pressure before, but my symptoms felt like that was possibly the problem. F 59 10 days

 2  yes 56 year old male. At first flushing of face, it went away, but then stuffy nose. But the worst one is both leg muscle pain and ache. I have hbp with azor using it lowers it, but what is it doing to my body? flushed face, stuffy nose, muscle pain. Real muscle pain making it hard to walk. I might try benicar or natural choices, and see what happens. Oh ya Azor has only been on the market for 3 years. Some books say you should not take a drug thats been on the market less than 7 year. Doctors just seem to throw these meds at you , never a natural product. I see attractive female pharm saleswomen in the Dr office all the time. Handing out free samples, like candy.makes me wonder what is the motivation of these drug companies? $$$$$ or you health. M 56 30 days
