Are Hot Flashes, Sweating, Diarrhea And Shortness Of Breath Side Effects Of Benicar?
I recently switched from Valsartan to Benicar. I only took it for 10 days. During that time I experienced hot flashes, sweating, diareha; rapid heart rate, shortness of breath. But only at night a few hours after I took the Benicar. The symptoms stopped after I stopped taking the medicine. Am I allergic to the Benicar? Do I need to report this to my doctor?

Hi,
Yes of course you can report about the symptoms that you have to your doctor but let me inform you that the drug might not be the cause of your symptoms but it can be something else, most probably it is not the disease condition but it seems to be due to diet only.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
