Taking Atacand 16mg for about 6 months. Works effectively in keeping BP down, but now have Burning Mouth Syndrome. Pharmacist says this is due to the build up of chemicals in the drug. Dr. says "not to worry." Also found hair is thinning. Well, at least I'm alive.

Have had no problems with 8mg. Love it. Recently bp jumped up after 2 surgeries so Dr. added Bystolic, not digging it so far, now I have weird chest pains. Hoping after recovery can go back to just Atacand only.

Only my systolic is ever high. I take no other meds. Usually 128/60 Pulse 60. on medication. Off=150/60 or sometimes systolic is higher. Tried to get by on 16 but need 32 and take it at night. Other meds for BP were awful. Can't take diuretics, K falls too low and get cramps. Pain seems to make my B.P high. Have arthritis.
