Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome back to Ask A Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that usually when blood pressure values are stable and within the normal ranges, these adverse effects disappear after a couple of weeks.

But, if these adverse effects persist despite normal blood pressure values, you should consider switching to another drug, which may be tolerated better.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,

Dr.Iliri
