Has helped lower my BP. But maybe to low. I have developed dizzyness and now am having problems with my vision (blurry) My arms are also going numb at night. Had this problem with another BP drug. Would like to know if anyone else has the vision problem.

Avalide never brought my blood pressure to a desireable level. Caused my tongue and lips to swell. It also made me very tired.

I had muscle and joint pain, water retention, and it never did help lower my blood pressure if fact back in Nov. 2007 to this day here Feb.14th,08 I was on 125mg's and now am on 300mg's. Just took my first Avalide a few minutes ago and am feeling drowsy...won't know the other affects till later on in the week but will be back. I shall see if this is going to work for in the next 8 weeks.

Have been off and on many different BP drugs for years. Avalide is the one that finally worked for me with no side effects.

My untreated BP averages a little below below 120/80 in 24, 48, and 72 hour studies. However I do have spikes, normal, I'm told, into the range of 135/84 and also my BP is responsive to white coats. Anyway, four years ago I had my mitral valve REPAIRED (birth defect) and my cardiologist wants my BP to be below 110/70 and so the avalide. My only complaint about thisdrug is the cost.
