I began taking Micardis two weeks ago to control my high-normal B...

I have been taking Micardis for about 3 days and I have noticed my arms ache a little but what drives me CRAZY is how they feel numb like the circulation is cut off and I have no energy plus my legs sometimes feel the way my arms do!!! Do you have any of these symptoms?

I believe Micardis is dangerous . I have stopped and restarted taking this med. for over a year, mostly as a test to confirm the effects. Here is my experience:(I am taking no other meds )

Effective bp reduction without "bottoming out" . Bizarre numbness and pin-prick pain (skin) ,STRANGE headache,combined with disorientation and mild panic,feeling very disconnected,paranoia,stuttering,severe night sweats,blurred vision,lucid dreaming.Now bp is up-stopping forever.Good luck to all...............

Three years ago I was placed on micardis. I was on the meds three days when I started having extreme pain in my limbs, itching, numbness and swelling. I ended up in the hospital on an unrelated matter. However, they continued my micardis after I told them of the side effects. The pain grew worse to the point I no longer could get out of bed on my own from the swelling that was occuring in all my joints. I stopped taking the micardis, the pain decreased but has never gone away. I still suffer from swelling, pain, numbness ect...my qualitiy of life has gone down drastically because of this medication, and the doctors who would not listen.
