I've been prescribed Micardis (Telmisartan) 20mg for my blood pressure. My doctor said it should help lower the risk of heart issues as well, but does anyone have experience with this med? It's supposed to relax your blood vessels, but the list of possible side effects is a bit concerning. I know everyone is different, but I'd love to hear about your experience and any advice you might have. Has anyone had experience with the more serious side effects? I'd like to be prepared. I'm also curious if it has any of the dizziness or stomach issues I've had with other pills.
