Apresoline Reviews
For High Blood Pressure "This was working at keeping my BP down. But I found out I was allergic to it 2 years later. I was experiencing angioedema, with weekly swelling of my eyes, lips, back. Most times it wasn't all at once, but sometimes my back would swell up so bad, it felt like it was going to explode. The doctor didn't realize what was causing the swelling until I found something online that this might be a side effect and asked him."
For High Blood Pressure "My eyes feel like they're on fire, and it's blurred my vision. I put up with it for 3 months and now realize it's also why my hair has started to fall out. Plus side, it's the only BP med that hasn't affected my sex drive (which is why I put up with the eye pain)."
For High Blood Pressure "This medication was awful. Within one day of taking it, I experienced pain in my back, hips, and legs, along with shortness of breath when trying to go on a walk. It was awful. I took it for about 10 days, then stopped. Side effects went away after about two days. I would rather die than take that drug again."
