High BP. Nervous Tick In Eye, Lethargy, Nervous And Jittery After Starting Benazepril. History Of Taking Altace With Amlodipine. Suggest
I just started 20mg of benazepril this morning. I was taking 10 mg of Altace as well as well as 5 mg of Amlodipine. Since my blood pressure has been running high 150/90 my doctor said to stay on the 5 mg of Amlodipine and try the 20 mg of benzepril. I have noticed a nervous tick in my right eye which is very unusual for me. I've also noticed that I am more lethargic than normal, but am also nervous and jittery and I do not feel normal. What should I do?

Hi, the side effects described are due to the benazepril, so i advise you to consult your doctor, for diagnosis and treatment. With your doctors advise you can switch over to the previous drugs. Or if your doctor feels necessory he may change to some other drugs. Thank you.
