Cardiologist took me off Tekturna due to muscle pain, severe hoarseness, heartburn, flu like symptoms. My Cardiologist told me that they are taking this drug off the market.

1st day prescribed, early AM, BP was 164/76. By noon, BP was 178/68, by 4 PM, BP was 194/78, by 4:35 BP at 122/74. Frantic call to Doctor, he changed medication that afternoon. Tekturna also caused terrible headache, dizzyness, lethargy. Not a usable medication.

This medication has done great bringing my pressures down from 162/110 down to 106/78. I am sure my body likes these numbers but I cannot tolerate feeling so crappy so much of the time. I already have fibromyalgia and spinal pain, so the additioal painfullness from Tekturna is not a welcome feeling.
