High Blood Pressure
"I am 63 years old, and inherited high blood pressure from my mother.  I have been taking Avapro for about 15 years.  Initially it was 150mg but recently as 2 years I have been on 300 mg.  Initially after the increased dose I had such back muscle/bone pain, it felt as if an elephant had sat on me.  My doctor changed my medication to a beta block but that did nothing to bring my blood pressure down.  What annoys me after reading everyone&#039;s feedback, is I have been struggling with exhaustion for years, muscle pain, lightheadedness when standing, fainting even landed up fainting at work, with the ambulance being called.  Not the doctor, nor the hospital mentioned side effects of this medication."
