What To Do For High BP?
I have been on 10 mg of benicar for one year for elivated bp. My bp now is 103/65. I have been having ed problems over past 9 months since taking benicar. My weight is normal, I swim 2 miles a day and I am in excellent health with no other meds. I am 65 years old. Could the benicar be causing this sudden problem

Absolutely yes. You many not need medicine anymore.
Notify your doctor and consider a medicine holiday. Record your blood pressure on a schedule every day. It should be taken seated after a 10-15 min period of relaxation. When you meet with your doctor again, bring a 2 week record to help determine the need for medicine.
