Is this worth the side effects

Hi, Gina!

Are you going to be taking it for high blood pressure or a cardiac condition?

If so, then the question I'd like to ask is if your life is worth the side effects?

I'm not intending to be rude or anything by asking that, it is a perfectly serious question.

I have been there. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, but I didn't take it seriously. When I had bad side effects from a medication, I stopped taking it and didn't go back to the doctor, or seek another doctor to try something else. I just let it continue out of control for another year….

Until I ended up passing out in the ER, unable to breathe from full congestive heart failure before I was 40 years old. Almost dying finally made me pay attention.

It took several tries of a few different medications, until we found ones that I could take that didn't cause me a ton of side effects and make me completely miserable, but I'd rather go through that then lose my life to something I could do my best to prevent.

You may not even suffer any of the side effects from this, there's no way to know ahead of time. But if you do, there are over 100 more similar medications you can try, until you find one that works for you.

You can learn more Micardis details here and there are more Hydrochlorothiazide details here.
