High Blood Pressure
"I have been on atenolol for years for fast heart rate.  But as I&#039;ve gotten older, my blood pressure as increases.  My doctor added  triamterene along side of the atenolol.  The first day, I didn&#039;t feel well, but assumed I would feel a little different with new meds.  I made sure I drank lots of water.  Days 2-4 days were horrible.  Extremely weak, heart palpitations, chest pain, and overall bad feelings. Went back to only the atenolol.  Today is 2 days after stopping and I feel better as far as the weakness, but my pressure is back up.  Waiting for the doctor to give me something else to try."
