I love this drug. Ended up having severe nocturnal hypertension due to MILD sleep apnea. All bp's during day were perfect, nighttime bp's 200/112. Thought I would stroke out many long nights. Tried Edabi, nearly killed me 80/50 for days. Tried other ACE and Arbs, varying doses. Candesartan 16mg taken at 7pm.

The only side effect that was super annoying is very, very dry mouth in morning but given that this is ONLY drug that works at night AND doesn't bottom out my bp during day I am willing to deal with it. A true lifesaver for me after 8 long weeks of horrifying blood pressures at night.

I have tried lots of blood pressure tablets and they all make my pulstate tinnitus so loud , reduces blood pressure , there must be a tablet that doesn’t do this

Amazing! Warm feet and hands. No tightness around the head or migraines. No pounding heart going up hills. Feeling relaxed. Sleep is much better, as I used to suffer with insomnia and low mood. Feeling 10 years younger...Follow up with GP soon, will discover how its working on my blood pressure.

I'm presently on 12mg and am reducing the dose while monitoring my blood pressure. If my BP remains good, I'm going off of it all together. The side effects haven't been kind, with lethargy, runny nose, coughing, back pain, shortness of breathe and the worst being heart palpatations.

I have taken candesartan (originally the brand name Atacand, and now the generic) for some 14 years. It has been effective in reducing my blood pressure, and I have had no side effects. My doctor originally prescribed Diovan (valsartan) but I gained weight. She switched me to candesartan (which I take along with amlodipine) and it's been a perfect combination for me.
