I've been diagnosed with hypertension and my doctor prescribed Atacand HCT 32-25mg to help manage it. I understand it combines candesartan and hydrochlorothiazide to control my blood pressure. I've heard about the typical side effects, but I'm curious if anyone has experienced any surprises or anything that wasn't mentioned in the patient leaflet. I've also read that there are some serious side effects to look out for, like signs of high blood sugar, fluid and electrolyte problems, and even lupus. It's a bit overwhelming, so any personal experiences or tips would be greatly appreciated!
