Anxiety due to Benicar Medication

Hi, I am new here! I was looking at some old postings and already feel a little better, I have been on Benicar 20mg. for almost 2 years now. I have high blood pressure, stress, I had a couple of anxiety attacks prior to being put on Benicar, anyway, about a week after starting the Benicar, I noticed I felt really anxious, like as soon as I got out of bed in the morning. I had a bad car accident several years ago, broke my neck and have chronic pain, I deal with that also, I do take regularly pain meds from my dr. BUT, then I started this Benicar and I have had tingling sensations in my face, head, hands. I sometimes get up at night and it sounds like there are DRUMS beating LOUDLY in my ears. Weird. Also I have had vertigo, even when sitting still, I feel like I left myself for a second or two, It is so weird when that happens, I went to the dr. I know like 12 times because I thought I had a ear infection or something.. Anyway, I cannot deal with these crazy feelings and this helplessness anymore, please if someone else has these problems please let me know, I am a 34 yr old Clerk raising 2 boys on my own and I cannot handle this terror/anxiety/ I am always afraid OF SOMETHING??? Please Help.

Re: Anxiety due to Benicar Medication

why not ask your doctor to put you on a different blood pressure med? My mom was switched from Inderal once and the one they gave her caused heart racing so she demanded her Inderal back and now things are calmer. If he won't respect your concerns about your med, perhaps it's time to change doctors...
