hello,
You're a known hypertensive and on candesartan 4 mg.
Your blood pressure is maintaining around 120/72 mm Hg.
The cause for concern in Candesartan is 1 st dose orthostatic hypotension.
Frequent monitoring of BP is important.
Dose adjustment should be done accordingly.
Dizziness, headache and vertigo is also common.
