high blood pressure
"I am a healthy 39 year old AA mom of 3.  I was diagnosed with high blood pressure after a stressful divorce and other life changing events.  My doctor gave me samples of 10mg Bystolic.  I went from 195/150 to 120/80-textbook.  I take Bystolic in the morning on an empty stomach and it has a calming effect so I was also able to eliminate Valium and Xanax from my life!  I feel amazing.  The only side effect I've noticed is my left arm feeling like it's "thinking" about falling asleep.  I'm okay with that as long as it's not tingling, numbness or pain associated with the stroke I might be having were I not managing my blood pressure.  I also find that I can no longer make it off my normal 4-5 hours of sleep.  I need 7-8 or I fall asleep in the middle of a sentence (LOL)."
