What is the main symptom of Hydralazine (Apresoline) toxicity?

Hypotension
Hyperglycemia
Disturbed vision
Muscle cramps

The correct answer is: Hypotension

One main symptom of Hydralazine toxicity is hypotension, which refers to abnormally low blood pressure. Option B, Hyperglycemia, refers to high blood sugar levels and is therefore not the main symptom of Hydralazine toxicity. Option C, Disturbed vision, may be a potential side effect of taking Hydralazine but it is not the main symptom of toxicity. Option D, Muscle cramps, is not typically associated with Hydralazine toxicity and would not be considered the main symptom.
