I had a 15 min. proce4dure and by the time I was in recovery I was already sick, nauseaous, face, hands and feet were starting to swell. They still sent me home and I thought I was going to die!! Couldn't keep anything down the whole day,headache, burning up, swollen like a sausage but nothing was done for me!! Finally started feeling better the next day but has taken 3 wks and still not fully recovered. TERRIBLY drug to take-don't even try it. Never so sick in my life and I am 67!

The first time I was having an emergency cesarean and while waiting my BP was out of control, after this drug was administered to me I had the worst migraine ive ever had and needed an epidural just to help with the pain. Second time BP was 275/127 and again worst migraine with vomiting, extreme light sensitivity to where no lights where on for four days in my room and sound sensitivity so bad I had to cover my ears when people talkies to me, also was given morphine to cope with the pain it caused. I guess I'm allergic but for some reason the doctors always want to use hydralazine, I hate this drug. I've actually started listing it as my one and only drug allergy.

In her wisdom, she gave me another injection of the Hydralazine - my blood pressure instante=ly shot up to 247/120 - I was afraid I was going to have a stroke. I complained enough that the nurse replaced herself and another nurse came in and she consulted with a doctor. It took them 2.5 hours and several other meds to bring me down to normal. I would say use precaution with this drug. I also felt like my feet were itching severely - it might have been an alergic reaction.

My Dad, who's 78, was given this in the hospital. He pressure drop severly and he broke out in hives and a fever. He was so hot, he said, it felt like he was burning from the inside out. Later, that night his was found on the floor by the nurses and thought his was home.
