No, were you taking a calcium channel blocker?

I take losartan now but also with HCT- a diuretic.

new one out called edarbi.......took it for awhile and didn`t have any problems...also took a beta blocker way back in the day called ziac..no side effects except for a little prostate issue........

luckily,i`ve been taken off all this crap....

i think some(obviously not all) could be taken off with a serious exercise regimen(also, being allowed to throat-punch people would probably relieve some of the stress)....

g.l.,bud.....

Try putting a teaspoon of cinnamon in cereal and coffee each morning. Helps keep blood pressure under control :0074
