Tell your doctor of your side effects, he will switch you to another BP med.
Like all b.p meds they all have side effects and work diffrent on each person who takes them ! some people I call lucky, as they can take almost anything with No big or bad side effects from it. Yet others like me ,cant take hardly anything without going into space! or climbing the walls from it. - benicar is known to have some wild side effects , such as Gas -bloating belly- uncontrolled passing gas!, and vision problems such as eye lids being lazy or not working well. blurred vision is another
as well - no energy or power ! it robbs you of normal energy or power
you had , no get up and go.. it got up and went with the benicar and other meds for b.p. its best to ask your Doctor to take you off it, asap
and switch to something that isnt so harsh on you ! You might even ask the Doctor , to test you first, when taking the new medication for problems.. if he has a heart, and time the doctor should do that..
it will help you in the long run , in finding something that works good
with less side effects.. but beaware ! 99.9 % of all b.p meds all have side effects ! good luck ! and best wishes healthwise..

I've been on Benicar HCT 40/12.5 for 3 years, it's the only BP med I've been on and it has worked wonders with no side effects. My BP is down to 110/70 from 150/90 and as I said, I have had absolutely no side effects to date. For me, it's a great med, but maybe not for you. There are many to choose from, just keep working with your doctor to find the one that works best for your situation.
Good Luck,
Jon
