Hi,
I appreciate your concern, more or less all the medicines used for high blood pressure may have the same side effects. As a matter of fact, your physician is the best judge and physician always suggests the best medicine. If you have some side effects then you can discuss this with our physician. Both the medicine has the same properties, the names that you mentioned here, there may not be pro or cons of that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Husain, General & Family Physician
