Change of medication

[Mark24]

My GP has taken me off papranolal and moved me onto doxazosin 4mg 1 in the morning. Along with the other blood pressure medication. Is anyone else on doxazosin?

i was on1mg great at first then started to get very bad side effects,felt very strange, took all of the sodium out of my body,doc told me to eat crisps to bring it back up,with low blood sodium levels u would have thought bp came down it went up instead, plus i was always going for a wee suddenly,it messes with your prostate.

Hi I have been on 4mg for over 15 years with two other meds - no side effects at all,

2nd day on the doxazosin and I've got really tired, my heart feels like it's bouncing out my chest and even when talking I'm kinda out of breath. And last night I woke up every hour for a pee felt like I was bursting, after I managed to fall over I was up again. Going to give it till tomorrow night. Was feeling brilliant before then moved me onto these.
