Common drug side effects

Q: I am African-American and have been on numerous high blood pressure meds. I am now on Coreg CR 20 mg in the morning and Procardia 30 mg in the P.M. I am getting upper back cramps, leg cramps and headaches. I have been on more than 8 different types of high blood pressure meds since 2008. I am really upset because the meds are not working without side effects. I don’t want to continue to take meds because of the side effects. Please inform me as to the other side effects that I will have after taking the above meds for a few months.

A: For a listing of common side effects from Procardia click here. For Coreg click here. Ask your doctor about RESPeRATE use. It may help you get your blood pressure into control and does not have side effects.
