Thanks for contacting HCM. You have not mentioned whether your wife's BP is under control with olmesartan. Olmesartan is a good drug and belongs to same group of medicines as telmesartan. Breathlessness on exertion is a sign of cardiac disease. I would suggest following investigations for her-
1. BP measurement
2. E.C.G.
3. TMT
4. Cardiac colour doppler.
Depending on the results of the above tests medicines can be prescribed or she may be advised to undergo coronary angiography. Regards
