I took this for less than two weeks. It became unbearable.
I started off with really heavy heart palpitations, then came the hoarseness (having to clear your throat and changes to the tone of voice in mid sentence - not great in a work setting)
I checked in with my local pharmacist and they confirmed it can interfere with heart function.
A week in and it hadn't even seemed to lower my blood pressure.
I knew it was meant to reduce high blood pressure but that was about it. (I don't understand how it actually works)
Second week in, the palpitations were still going strong and then the chest pain started.
And that's where I drew the line. I stopped it right away.
Enough was enough.
