| Add Cozaar review So far it has got my blood pressure down I am tired most of the day, and my legs are weak. Somewhat depressed i have tinling in my hands ? | Add Hyzaar review My physician withdrew it because of low blood pressure. About a week later I developed gout like symptoms in my feet and overall foot pain. I have less upper body pain but quite a bit of continuing neck pain which I had for years. It was fine at first. Now I am experiencing extreme hand, leg and foot cramps, along with some light headedness. | |||
