3 | HBP | I started developing severe hemmoroids which I did not have before. Now I have a swollen uvula which makes swallowing very uncomfortable at night (postural). This is less noticeable during the day. | I feel the side effects are due to my veins relaxing too much (Micardis effect) and allowing the swelling to be exaggerated. | M | 6 months | 6/22/2006 | 4 | Blood pressure | Pain in middle of back and aching muscles. | I really hope this side effect goes away soon because so far this is the only blood pressure medicine that hasn't caused irregular heartbeats. | F | 37 | 4 days | 5/30/2006 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | Really bad heartburn with pain in back. | F | 1 weeks | 5/30/2006 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Sore throat, cough, felt like I had a chest infection, terrible pain in my ears. | Took it for 3 weeks without too many problems, but week 4 added HCT (diuretic) and all the side-effects got worse. Quit taking it 2 days ago, sore throat and chest irritation gone, ears still hurt some. | F | 46 | 30 days | 3/20/2006 | 2 | hbp | none | loved the dispenser with days of the week. Didn't forget to take pill. | F | 48 | 6 weeks | 3/13/2006 | 4 | high blood pressure | loss of sex drive,shortness of breath on occasions when Getting out of bed in the mornings,argumentive, mood swings, cough and sore dry throat. | started taking Micardis 2 years ago for high blood pressure,blood pressure on occassions still 155/110 pulse rate 66 but most of the time bp is 120/80 pulse 85 | M | 51 | 2 years | 12/17/2005 | 5 | Hypertension | None at all, great drug! | Was taking Vasotec, lots of side affects | M | 45 | 2 years | 11/26/2005 | 5 | High BP | none | This medicine does a wonderful job of regulating my BP. For example, it usually spikes way high at my Dr.'s visits b/c I hate going there, but the past two times, it's been 120's over 70's and 80's. Before it was 160's over 100's! I sleep better and feel more rested when I wake in the morning. Hightly recommend this medicine. | F | 28 | 4 weeks | 11/18/2005 | 3 | HBP | Took it for 3 yrs with no problem. Went off for 4 months. After returning had severe sinus problems, head congestion, dizziness, felt disconnected. | Just wondering why this time is so different | M | 32 | 3 years | 7/17/2005 | 3 | Hypertension | I had to stop taking the drug after 2 weeks because of the dizziness and the ringing in my ears. | M | 51 | 2 weeks | 6/14/2005 | 4 | blood pressure | fatigue | M | 69 | 10 days | 3/11/2005 | 5 | High BP | I had to stop taking Altace because my tongue swelled after taking it for several years so dr switched me to Micardis. I also take Methyldopa (Aldomet was discontinued) and the Micardis made me less dizzy/unsteady then the Altace. I have noticed a slight hesitancy with my short term memory but who knows if it's due to my age. | I'm very pleased that my BP is being controlled and don't notice any real side efferts | F | 64 | 5 years | 2/13/2005 | 5 | High blood pressure | None except some minor memory problems. Not as sharp as I used to be before taking this drug. It certainly controls the high blood pressure better than Cozaar but again there is a concern about memory lapses. | F | 72 | 8 months | 2/12/2005 | 4 | hbp | constantly having to clear my throat | kept bp down to acceptable level | M | 62 | 1 months | 2/5/2005 | 5 | hbp | none | felt better than have felt in a long time | F | 30 years | 1/3/2005 | 5 | hbp | none | wonderful medicine | F | 49 | 30 days | 1/3/2005 | 4 | hypertension | been taking for over two years now has been the best one i have ever taken and realy works with no side effets. | M | 46 | 2 years | 11/9/2004 | 5 | hypertension | I had a nosebleed that took a very long time to subside. | After the continual cough and wild BP swings I experienced with lisinopril, this medication is wonderful.
