View allI'm really struggling with these intense headaches since I've been taking telmisartan 40mg with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg every day. Even though my blood pressure is normal around 12879, the headaches won't go away, and they're really affecting my daily life. I'm also on propranolol 40mg and flunarizine 12.5mg for my cervical spine issues, but the pain is still so bad. Is there any alternative to telmisartan that won't cause these headaches, or maybe any tips on how to avoid these side effects? I'm 52 and really need some advice on how to manage this.
