Dear-thanks for using our service. Your symptoms are mostly related to stomach viral flu, which can give you diarrhea,vomit and bloating stomach. You have been taking Benicar for a long time,so the possibility that it is a side effect from it is very low. I recommend you to drink a lot of fluid, replace the electrolytes that you have lost with the diarrhea with drinks that has electrolytes replacement, keep a bland diet for few days and you will feel better. I hope that my advise has been helpful Dr.Sara
