Candesartan 4mg tablets and their side effects

I’m taking 4mg Candesartan daily. To be honest there’s days I forget to take the tablet! But over the last 5 days I haven’t missed. I’m getting palpitations now and shortness of breath quite regular. It’s freaking me out! Any ideas what’s causing it? Is it the candesartan?

Have you checked the product leaflet that came with it, it should be in the box. Check out possible side effects and if it's there, go back to your GP and have a chat. It may be something that will calm down after a while once. Good luck. x

Cheers for that. Yes, I think I’ll have a chat with my GP on Monday
