The pass 3 months my blood pressure started going all over the place. I couldn't pass my CDL medical exam because it was getting up to 170/120. Been on it for about five days now it's finally stabilizing to around 118/78. I passed my exam today that was the only problem I had with my exam was the blood pressure.

Comment from: Nader 55-64 Male 1 to less than 2 years Patient Published: February 14

I am, overall, a healthy person. In two different occasions due to some toxins and Steroid shot combined with stress, my blood pressure went to the roof (220/120). Doctors prescribed various medications and none could lower the blood pressure to my normal values (~125/80). This medication (Benicar/HCT) brought it down within a day. That was about a year ago. Since then, I started with a pill a day (40/12.5) and within few months reduced it to 1/3 of a pill daily. My average blood pressure has remained 116/73, based on 3 readings each day. This medication works very well with no side effects.

Benicar caused the fewest side effects compared to several other hypertension ARB meds. No coughing!!! Libido, while nowadays mostly dormant, is not completely dead unlike other meds where libido was zero.

It lowered by blood pressure but it caused diarrhea and a mild nausea. A lot of urinating I was starting to feel dehydrated.
