high blood pressure
"I have been taking Benicar for four years with no noticeable side effects; keeps my blood pressure at 115/75 easily.  I had experienced negative effects such as leg cramps and severe dizziness with other medicines prior to taking Benicar.  I still monitor other aspects of my life that affect blood pressure - adequate exercise, proper diet, etc., but am happy this medicine is available to "close the gap.""
