high blood pressure
"My blood pressure was high (144/90 -180/110) My doctors tried Alpha and Beta Blockers, Calcium Channel Blockers, Ace Inhibitors, Angiotension II 

Receptor Blockers, and diuretics. My best pressure was 138/90.  The first week we tried Benicar HCT 40/25, I could tell a big difference. My best pressure was 128/78.  After losing some weight, pressure dropped as well.  116/68. I started feeling extremely dizzy. Broke the pill in half and dizziness improved. Doctor will need to adjust dosage and hopefully will be able to discontinue use by end of year if weight loss continues.  My appointments are now 3 months instead of monthly.  Overall, I am pleased with my progress since I started taking Benicar."
