Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Benicar has fewer side effects like dizziness,
lightheadedness,stomach pain, Nausea, diarrhea,
bronchitis, back pain, joint or muscle pain etc.

It may also cause dehydration and loss of salt/minerals.

So there is a high chance that your back pain & muscle pain getting aggrevated by intake of benicar.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
