Accupril side effects
Being a patient of High blood pressure, I was prescribed to take Accupril by my doctor.
As soon as I started taking Accupril for my high blood pressure, I started having dry cough along with a very dry throat. I felt like drinking water all the time.
I also experienced muscle and joint paints. Some of my joints and muscle started aching immensely and I noticed some muscle weakness as well. I frequently had bilateral or alternating hip pains which seemed out of control and felt they were more of muscle pain rather than joint.

Because of which I was not able to move around a lot. I also had a very bad experience of an acute onset of uvlitis after taking doses of Accupril for my high blood pressure.

All these side effects were also accompanied by dizziness. I felt light headed generally and felt like sleeping for long hours. I was always tired and didn’t feel like coming out of my bed at times. I also gained quiet a few extra kilos even when I exercise regularly. My sexual drive also diminished once I started taking Accupril.

 When I discussed all these problems with my doctor, he told me it is just a temporary phase and it will go away in some time. But it just doesn’t go away even after one year. Now my doctor told me, even that if I stop taking Accupril it would take atleast three to four years before I stop coughing. Because of coughing I feel tired mentally and physically as well.

Although Accupril keeps my blood pressure under control, but it doesn’t seems to work out when I am under stress. Accupril is an effective medicine to lower the high blood pressure but it comes with some side effects.
