Started On Hydralazine

Updated

In three days I noticed my breathing improved - not sure why that is. I pee a lot too. A little woozy - trying to get used to the medication and adjust to the drop in blood pressure; it's been high for awhile.

The increased urination is a normal side effect of this medication, as well as most other high blood pressure/cardiac medications, according to the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and hypotension.

As to the improvement in breathing, where you suffering congestive heart failure?

Thanks for writing. No I wasn't suffering from congestive heart failure according to the cardiac doctor and the results back from the Eco Cardiogram... all showed that my heart was strong. Maybe I had some fluid in my lungs from reflux disease and the pill helped clear out some extra fluid? Is that possible? I read hydralazine actually made you more fluid filled. Anyway --- I have been losing some weight on this medicine too due to a slight loss in appetite so I guess I really cant complain about this med. It took my doc 7 tries to find me one that wouldn't make me really sick. I can live my life normally on this one.
