I recently started taking 40 mg of Telmisartin 2 1/2 weeks ago. My blood pressure has been extremely high since I got Covid at the end of July. It topped out at 170/100 on my doctors visit three weeks ago, and it was time to start some meds as always, I come here because the people on here seem to just have a wealth of knowledge.
I read a lot of the old threads on Telmisartin, and it gave me a lot of good info. But since those threads are older, in some cases several years, I wanted to ask about a couple of things that I’m experiencing.
Biggest thing is my erections are pretty much gone. My libido has gone with it. I have read this isn’t a symptom, but it has gone with the start of telmisartin. I had been micro dosing .0625 of anastrozole with my shots (.17 three times a week) to keep higher estrogen in check. It was working well for about a month but stopped working well, so I stopped over the past 4 shots. It may be a combo of both.
Second is I have had prostate irritation with some inflammation and irritation when I urinate. Not severe but feels like when I had inflammation after prostatitis 10 years ago.
Lastly I have saggy water retention or what I think is water retention in my stomach and chest. It is so loose and soft that it feels like water would pour out of my body if I poked a hole in the skin. No water retention anywhere else. I have been peeing non stop since staring so it’s weird.
Since so many of you take telmisartin, just looking to see if anyone ever expirienced anything like this on it. Thanks!
