Have been on this drug for 1 month. Tightness in chest and throat and shortness of breath. Hard time laying down. It made me itch, memory loss & depression. Dr. took me off of it and now on Verapamil. Feel so much better. Just can't tolerate the Beta Blockers

Comment:
I was stressed due to family and work issues. Ended up having palpatations. This did little to help with that but did lower my blood pressure initially. After 4-5 months blood pressure was back up to old #'s. Biggest issue was difficulty breathing and tough sleeping to the point where I want to get off as it has progressively gotten worse.

Comment:
It has helped my blood pressure - since I started taking it, I have fouond that I have tingling in my lower calves and hands. I have s little MD so I am not sure if the tingling is related - but I did not have this tingling or some more weakness in my legs and hands. I have always had weakness but, I feel I have more since taking this medication.
