Candesartan Headaches; Itchy Nose; Congestion; Neck/arm Pain

I've been on Candesartan for two weeks, in addition to long standing BP prescriptions for Bendroflumethiazide and Amlodopine.

Side effects since starting Candesartan include sore neck on left side, sore arms, headaches, stuffy, itchy, runny nose and tiredness. Does anyone else have these, and if so, did they get better? Thanks in advance!

Hello, Wursty! How are you doing? Has there been any change?

The FDA does list neck pain, arm pain, headache, rhinitis, cold symptoms, and fatigues as being possible side effects of Candesartan.

Ref: Candesartan Information

Side effects typically begin to taper off, and eventually go away entirely, once your body gets used to the medication, but that might take 5 to 6 weeks. If there is no improvement by then, or if your symptoms worsen/become severe, you should seek medical attention.

I took it for several years, it took about a month for me, then the side effects went away, and I didn't experience any further problems, but we are all different.
