When speaking, after about 2 minutes I would no longer be able to speak without coughing. Otherwise, I felt good. Drug brought systolic reading from around 175 to 145-150. | This would be a good medication if it allowed you to speak without constantly coughing. My doctor changed the Rx to generic Hydralazine (50mg) which is a total poison. I was able to bring down my systolic reading by 25-30 points by drinking 12 oz. of aloe vera juice a day (4 oz. 3X a day) and drinking hibiscus tea (a natural diuretic) as my only liquid during the day (16 oz. or more). Though my BP is still high, I will look for other natural methods to lower my BP. | F | 68 | 2 weeks 100 1X day | 8/6/2013 |
