I just read about the truck driver having pains in his knees. I have this too, mostly behind my knees, and they tend to give out at times. Am wondering if this is the same with him? What about weight gain?

I am a truck driver, normally driving 1500 to 2000 miles a week. After starting to take the medication, I have developed severe pain in my knees. This is one of the infrequent side effects of taking this medication. It is said that this side effect does not occur to all who take the medication, but from experience, I can say that it does happen, and it is a very painful side effect.

It leaves the top of the head feeling numb. I have had tingling sensations in my fingers. I have a lightheaded experience, which was on of the side effects described by manufacturer, impared motor skills. It is a horrible feeling.

I have high blood pressure so I was prescribed HYDROCLOROT 25MG and ENALAPRIL 5MG after 9days of taking it I developed a sore throat and a dry cough. I called my doctor and has taken me off ENALAPRIL and now RX ATENOLOL 25MG. See how that works will let you know. You might want to talk to your doctor regarding your dry cough. Good luck.

This medicine had significantly lowered my blood pressure, but I am now developing a dry cough. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

The medication was effective for my high blood pressure but the side effects were bad. I had a persistent cough that would not go away.
