3 | HBP | Gained 10 pounds the first week and then 1/4 pound each week thereafter. It didnt matter how little I ate or how much I exercised, I gained weight. When exercising, it feels as if you cannot get enought oxyen in despite breathing heavy. This med makes your heart beats the same beat when excersizing so your muscles are starving for oxygen. Kept my BP low with no spiking | I took this with Benazapril. My BP had ever been better while on it but after gaining 28 pounds in 18 pounds with no end in sight, I was done with it. Also my HBP triggers migraines but I had no migraines at all during these past 18 months! New Doctor says this med is usually prescribed to older people who are sedentry or have had a previous heart attack. | F | 49 | 18 months 10mg 1X D | 3/3/2013 | |

1 | HBP | Extreme Breathlessness when exercising, walking up a flight of stairs, cleaning the floors etc. It got to the point that I thought I was either going to pass out or have a heart attack. Big weight gain mostly in the stomach area like I was 5 months pregnant. | One year was enough! I changed Doctors, stopped taking this and in 6 months without changing anything except medications, I have lost 15 pounds! My Doctor ignored me every time I complained about the weight gain. The second Doctor did the same thing and offered me Prozac. The third Doctor I went to finally listened to me. What a difference! | F | 49 | 10mg 1X D | 9/23/2014 |
