High Blood Pressure
"The bystolic did lower my b/p but I have had a 30 lb weight gain that has been deemed &quot;metabolic syndrome&quot; by my physician. He did a complete blood panel. My HDL is lower than it has been in 15 years, I have no thyroid problems. According to him the only thing it could be is the medication has slowed my heart rate 20 beats at resting. I walk  nearly 2 miles everyday up and down hill on the family farm I can barely get a 120 heart rate. My legs and butt look great my upper abdominal and thoracic area has increased by 10 inches. I had never  had fat in the thoracic area until I started this medication. Upon reading the hypoglycemic side effect and the warning about multiple severe allergy &quot;anaphylaxis&quot; treatment I don&#039;t know why my MD recommended it."
