Can Micardis Be Used For Controlling Blood Pressure After Stent Placement?

I had a stent inserted into the LAD that was 95% occluded. My Dr. started me on Plavix, Simvastatin, Beta Blockers & ACE inhibitors for Blood Pressure. Are there other types of drugs like Micardis that can be used for Blood Pressure? I really don't like the way these make me feel.

Hi,

Micardis is also used to treat high blood pressure. It is similar to ACE inhibitors. So if you don't tolerate well ACE inhibitors you can talk to your doctor to switch it to Micardis.

Take care
