Using Losar-H for more than 10 years for treating High BP and It was stable 140/90.Recently developed blackouts while standing from indian Pattern comodes.After Holter monitoring,ECG and echo testing nothing was found abnormal.My Doctor suggested Olmesartam medoximil 20 mg.After taking this medicine for 6 months,I feel incerased palpitation and short breathe whlie bending downward or walking only 50 mts.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The symptoms may not be related to the change of medicine
You need to be investigated for Coronary Artery Disease – TMT (Treadmill Exercise ECG) - with thallium isotope - is the ideal non-invasive way to evaluate ischemia / to assess the PHYSIOLOGY (function)
Good luck
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
