Comment:
I have a very slow heart beat and so this was the only drug that worked on my HBP without slowing my heart down to where I couldn't even walk. So I have recently recommended it to a friend that was having trouble with her medication. But I am glad that I read these reviews so I can warn her if she starts having any of the side effects I read about here.

Comment:
My headache I get from this stuff is constant and pretty severe. It is difficult for me to concentrate on anything. The dry cough is also annoying. It has lowered my blodd pressure, but not significantly only about 10 points. I don't care how well it works, it is debilitating and keeping me from living my life. ZESTRIL SUCKS.
