    Although it did help lower my BP it has given me a constant dry cough, sore throat, insomnia and cold/flu sysmptoms. I have also experienced blurred vision, back and chest pains and rapid heartbeat.

    After 3 days of being on this medication I began to experience muscle weaknesss and blurred vision. I couldn't even hold my arms up when washing my hair. I stopped taking this med and noticed that the weakness went away. Restarted the med and noticed the same symptoms had returned. So I d/c'd the medicine and contacted my physician.
