Micardis (telmisartan) can produce fatigue, headache and generalised pain all over the body in some patients. All these things can make you very tired.
I would recommend you to take adequate fluids and food to overcome tiredness. You can go for OTC pain medications like acetaminophen if the pain is very severe. Never exceed the daily dose limit of acetaminophen that is 3.25g/day in non alcoholics.
I hope the above information helps you. Hope you see your doctor as soon as possible. You can as for alternatives to micardis. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic.
