High Blood Pressure
"58 year old male caucasian, overweight, non smoker, non diabetic, low total cholesterol, low HDL, high Triglyceride. Been on Diovan HCTZ 320/25 for years.  In last year, 2nd blood pressure medicine -amlodipine was prescribed to hold 130/80 on average.  Developed severe leg swelling at 10 months. Switched to toprolol but developed fatigue, then switched to Bystolic 5 mg/day about two months ago. Immediate dramatic reduction in blood pressure to 110/60.  No problems in energy level.  Heart rate is definitely lower and gets very low (down to 45 bpm when awaking) but no other adverse symptoms.  Feel great so far.  I feel somewhat calmer.  BP has started to climb back to 125/70 in last week. Very pleased so far"
