Micardis 40 Mg

Updated

I have high blood pressure of 180, so the doctor gave me a sample of this medication and it works pretty good. Has anyone had side effects on this one? It would help to see if we match on this.

I have had very high blood pressure readings in the the last 8 months, always told due to stress, was on avapro, but my doc has now put me on micardis 40mg, hopefully this will improve blood pressure was 193 over 90 last reading. For 6 weeks have had tingling, pins and needles in both arms, so bad have to get up 3 times every night to get sensation in arms, aching in all bones, left leg gave in while walking once, swelling in ankles, thumb and left elbow, headaches all the time, am taking nuerofen plus that is helping to relieve the pain as much as possible, neck pain, cannot lift a glass of water with my right hand, when reading symptoms on the internet i seem to come up with Encephalitis, detailing most of my symptoms, including having no energy, always wanting to sleep etc., does anyone have anything that I can go to my doctor with, she suggests its a virus but if its Encephalitis I feel I may need to suggest this to her to be able to get help, thanks for any advice at all, anette

I have been taking this medication for the last 18 months with no side effects except sometimes I might feel a little light headed when standing up after having been lying down. It reduced my blood pressure from roughly 145/80 to 115/65

I love Micardis 40 mg. I've been on several other blood pressure pills. This, by far, is the best. I have no side effects.

I have used Micardis now for a number of years and at the 80 mg level and have NEVER had any side effects that I am aware of EVER. Not one of the symptoms that you have mentioned. I am very happy on Micardis now named Sandoz-Telmisartan and always had good Blood Pressure readings. Today at the docs was 125/70 which he seemed more than happy with.
