Was taking Cozaar 50mg and just stupidly stopped, bp went off the charts high to 200/125! Went back to doctor who put me on Bystolic 10mg, immediately reduced pressure and felt wonderful. Flash forward a few months, I am having daily headaches, lower back pain and stomach pains, total exhaustion. My doctor added another bp med because the pressure wasn't really controlled last visit.
