    Do hope you are ok. candesartan is the only one of at least six BP meds I have tried and gave the least side effects,but  each time my BP goes up as time goes on. In deperation they combined it with bendro and it dropped dramatically, but I feel since January like death warmed up, no energy and fearing for my sanity

    I was on Candesartan 16mg and Bendroflazide 2.5mg for a couple of years. My BP was well controlled but I felt similerly "drained" and exhausted. GP has now put me on Candesartan 8mgs and Amlodepine 5mgs. Feel it also causes fatigue but feel a lot more active and BP is well controlled.

    Hi thank you for replying this b/p business is a right pain in the last weeks i have felt awful nearly crying with the headaches so am hoping when i get checked tommoz that my b/p will be ok have been warned if i suffer side affects or my b/p is high they will add extra tablets on which i hope doesnt happen seems to be with this type of medication you get a lot of side affects which i dont think helps your b/p it stresses me out personally
