I tended to get feet that were so cold it was painful, also my hands.

[Mjltazz in reply to jedimasterlincoln]

Trick I found was socks on at night helps with cold feet. and gloves when out.

[Martin32]

Yes me too but get a shooting pain in leg and people keep telling me it’s normal with these drugs

[Mjltazz]

Yes. Been taken it since September and dose increased. Back down to 2.5 and today GP said stop immediately only a low dose anyway (at one point was up to 10mg but couldn’t breath) been telling them about cramps, Mainly in hands and toes at first, for six weeks. Now in my jaw and feel like I want to grind teeth. Spent last night with nerve feeling like my legs were on fire and I couldn’t fall asleep properly. Gp said nerve pain was down to anixety. Funny how I only got anixous around time of starting Blood pressure meds.

I have same burning and cramp like a muscle movement and sometimes wake up with cramp in hands nothing do with being anxious

[Mjltazz in reply to Martin32]

I too had this cramp thing as soon as I fell asleep. Didn’t matter if at night or during the day. At one point my fingers had seized up.

[Martin32]

Exactly same as mine can wake up 6 or 7 times in night, time to see my doctor I think thanks for sharing

[Mjltazz]

I would say so. Don’t make the mistake I did and put up with it as GP said not a side effect. I had so little sleep at one point I had to get diazepam just for one nights rest.

Yes terrible leg pain and night "cramp " just about to start a different type of beta blocker. Hopefully it will resolve the cramps and leg pain.
