Candesartan Cilextil so many side effects for me, help!!
Posted , 10 users are following.
Hi, I have been on Candesartan Cilextil 8mg for well over a year now and have a list of side effects. Wondered if anyone else has had any of these:
Stuffy, congested, pressurised head and ears.Tinnitus and crackly ear sounds. Severe anxiety, mild panic attacks. Heart palpitations, even when resting. Depression, lack of libido & broken sleep. Joint aches (toe, ankle, knee, hip, fingers, elbow) that move from one place to another.
I'm seeing my Dr again on Friday to discuss coming off Candesartan and trying a different drug for my hypertension (again). I have tried a few different ones over the past six years and need help. Does anyone have any good feedback or recommendations about their medication they take please?
Hoping to hear something positive soon 🤔

Hi Wendy,
Yes, I am on 16 mg of Candasartan and 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide and I have all of the symptoms that you describe. I have read that ARBs do not cause tinnitus but my ear ringing seemed to start after my Dr. put me on Candasartan and then it got worse when he raised it to 16 mg. Good luck to you!
