Hi, I have been taking Toprol essential hypertension for almost a year with very good results except slow pulse fatigue and some dizziness. Last week my doctor switched me to Benicar and now my heart is beating as crazy and I am very anxious. Is this a side effect of Benical or something else is going on to me?
I am not sure why you have had such a dramatic reaction to the Benicar. With the side effects you have described, my advice is to discuss with your doctor about trying a different medication. For your condition, an ACE inhibitors or some diuretic might be a reasonable change. I hope this info will help you.
