Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Celiac disease is not associated with increased blood pressure.
Unfortunately there are potential side effects of all medications. These effects may or may not occur, most persons do not experience any side effects.
There are complications of uncontrolled hypertension and it would best to get your readings under control with medication, diet and activity.
You may not experience any side effects of benicar. You may want to consider trying it as suggested by your doctor. If you have issues, it can be discontinued.
I hope this helps
