I was recently in a situation where I was administered Hydralazine 20mg/ml Injection in a hospital setting. The effects were immediate with my sky high blood pressure plummeting drastically. I felt a wave of relief but I have to admit that the list of side effects had me second guessing this life-saving medication. I've heard of some people having really bad reactions to it even anaphylactic shock. Does anyone have experience with this medication? I'd love to hear some stories and advice. Was it worth the risk? How bad were the side effects? Did you have an allergic reaction to this medication? What did you do? I'm trying to understand how dangerous this medication can really be and if it's worth the risk.
