I've just been prescribed Micardis 40mg Tablets (Telmisartan) for my high blood pressure. I'm a bit nervous because I've never taken blood pressure meds before. I'm trying to eat healthier, but I’m not sure what to do about what I’m eating with this medication. My doctor said it relaxes blood vessels to make my blood pressure go down. Has anyone else been on this? I’ve heard some crazy side effects and want to be prepared. I’m worried about that and need some advice.
