Heart pound symptoms and conditions

OMG! It's 4:45 a.m. where I live and I just found this site...what a Godsend. I thought I was going crazy! I've had almost all of the symptoms everyone has listed here the worst being insomnia,racing heart rate(at night)and feeling like I can't breathe! WOW! I have been on this med for almost 4 years now(10mg/day,down from 12mg/day with HCTZ)and I think it's time to STOP! I've honestly felt so horrible that dying didn't sound like such a bad idea...hate to say that but it's true. My Doc. does not think that this drug is causing these problems and just wants to give me more drugs! I'm a 36 year old female that used to be the picture of health...not anymore. I'm going to stop this medication a.s.a.p. and would urge others to do the same...the side effects are worse than the so called 'cure!' Please email if you'd like to discuss further. Thanks to everyone! You have saved me!

I took yutopar for 5 weeks during my last pregnancy in 1984--it was effective in preventing the premature birth of my daughter who is now a healthy 20-year old college student. However, I remember that it would make my heart pound so hard that you could actually see it. Recently, I have begun having chest pains, and have noticed that it feels just like it did 20 years ago. (I am 53, exercise, do not smoke, am not overweight, do not have diabetes--otherwise healthy). Just wondering...
