High Blood Pressure
"I am a 53 year old African American female.  My Dr. said that my heart rate resting was too fast, blood pressure was borderline and had mild left ventricle thickening.  He prescribed 2.5mg of Bystolic.  I always feel like I have a chlorine taste in my mouth, my breathing does not seem as deep and I have a strange sensation in my chest all of the time.  I feel more sluggish during exercise, but I have lost 16 pounds since on the medicines since October.  I am on a low fat diet and I walk 2 miles daily.  I think it is a good medicine; I just wish I didn&#039;t have to take any thing.  I&#039;m just not the same."
