Hi all was diagnosed with high blood pressure at the beginning of the year, was started on Amlodipine 5 mg then increased to 10mg, but had terrible swelling of the feet, but blood pressure was controlled. Amlodipine reduced back to 5 mg and put on candesartan as well 8mg, feet still swollen so taken off Amlodipine and increase the canderartan to 16 mg. my blood pressure was still to high so now it has been increased to 20 mg. As well as all this have to have blood tests every two weeks, and visit GP two weeks after that. I have now just realised that I am having a reaction to the candesartan, it’s like I have a bad cold, constant runny nose, and sneezing I stupidly thought my sinus’s were bad and have been taking sinutab it was only when I went to get some from a different pharmacy that I was told you can’t take them if you have high blood pressure and are on medication, I started looking on the internet for something I could take that I realised it’s a side effect of the medication. Is there a medication out there which will lower my blood pressure and cause no side effects I wonder. Just totally fed up and needed a moan.
