      I am not the same person at all, since I started taking candesartan, heart palpitation started like crazy, confused, no energy, weak cannot eat properly, body shaking, pulsation in while body, and tingling and numbness in whole body.

      so I knew is something to do with my body, so I saw family Dr whi advised me is your the medication destroyed me and for me I knew straight away us medication have connection with my immune system.

      since I have decreased the dose and have taking supplements vitamins am better

      Kind Regards

      I've been taking Candesartan for quite a few years now, and it suits me just fine. Don't have any of the things you're experiencing! Good to hear that you are better, but perhaps you should discuss the Candersartan with the GP who prescribed it!'
