The medicine lowered my BP but had dry cough . Also when I caught sun light or blue LED lights just right it would set off a migraine with the squiggly eye sight flowed by left hand and left part of tongue going numb. As a test I stopped 2 months, and those effects went away. Started up again and they returned. Dr switched me to lozartan. Been on that for a week and so far so good!

It raised my bp from 165/80 to 210/110. Monitor it until sure is working for you and not raising the numbers up.
