27 Jun 2017 Finger and toe cramping after being out in the heat or exercising. When rehydrating with anything the cramps begin. Also wake up with dry mouth and congestion. Swelling of feet and ankes too. At time feel very weak and sometimes dizzy. It does lower my bp though.

17 Feb 2015 I have had side effects that I attribute to Azor. My side effects include headache, dry cough, nasal congestion, insomnia, breathlessness. If I skip my Azor for a few days my insomnia, nasal congestion, and breathlessness disappears!!!

05 Aug 2014 Been on Azor for about 2 months. At first I thought it was working great as my BP did go down somewhat and initially no intolerable side effects. Then they began - a bad taste in my mouth constantly, more saliva (opposite from dry mouth complaints), swelling in my legs after walking. But the worst is eye problems - sudden bouts where my eyes don't adjust to bright light - and consistent, vivid dreams - not necessarily nightmares, but disturbing nonetheless. I know Azor is causing these because I have no new meds other than ones I have been taking for years. Lipitor is the only other med I've ever taken that caused me terrible nightmares. Dr said it is because it crosses the blood-brain barrier. So if you are experiencing any of these problems on Azor, it's not in your imagination.
