Does not lower my blood pressure and I feel more muscle pain.

I've tried so many BP meds and I was hopeful when I started Valturna. However, I think it has made things worse. The constant fatigue and breathing problems aren't worth the lower BP numbers yet my doctor says it's not the medication. I'm pretty much a shut in at 48 with the side effects but my BP is under control. Some life- not.
