Could my switch from olmesartan to Telplus for high blood pressure be causing my recent symptoms of constant tiredness, sleepiness, feeling faint, excessive gas, and hard mucus in my nose, and what is the best way to treat this?
It is quite common to feel tired, sleepy, or faint after switching blood pressure medications like moving from olmesartan to Telplus. Telplus may be lowering your blood pressure more than your previous medicine, which often causes faintness or fatigue. The nasal dryness and gas can sometimes occur as your body adjusts. Please be reassured that this is manageable. I recommend rising slowly from sitting or lying down, staying well-hydrated, and monitoring your blood pressure at home. Please contact your prescribing doctor soon.
