High Blood Pressure
"I was taking Atenolol/Chlorthalidone (50mg/12mg) for 12 years and most of that time it kept my BP down to acceptable levels (150/90).  
Then a doctor said there was a much better medication: Hyzaar.  So I started taking it instead. Immediately my BP was in the 190/130 range, and now after two weeks of trying it out, it&#039;s still in that range. I don&#039;t know whether to stop and go back to the Atenolol,  or what.  Doctor says keep taking for full 30 days, to determine effectiveness.
