I have a question: I am taking Lotrel, Toprol XL 25 MG, and Hydrochlorot 12.5 MG for my blood pressure. I am so stiff I can hardly move and recently I developed rush under my arms, which I think that is due my anxiety. Do you think this stiffness, pain and numbness in my legs and rash under arms has anything to do with the blood pressure medications I am taking? I would appreciate any help.
I am not a doctor but I know that some of the drugs you are taking can cause muscle cramping and weakness. I was in Hydrochlorot 25mg for my high blood pressure and before that Accupril 20 mg. I guess that some of these symptoms can be caused by disturbances in your blood potassium levels and should be investigated by your physician as soon as possible and I guess that rush under arms can be caused by anxiety. Please see your doctor and explain the situation to him.
