Details:
I have started taking Atacand 8mg for HBP a week ago. I have noticed the following two effects.
1. Feel shaky when getting up and walking. 2. My hands feel very cold and turn bluish in cold weather.
Are these normal side effects which will go away after few days. Should I worry about these?
Thanks

Hey vinodk,
Be very careful when you get up and walk so you don't have a fall. You are having side effects from the Atacand. You need to have your blood pressure checked in case it has gone too low. You may need an adjustment in the dosage. Let your doctor know what you are experiencing as soon as you can and in the meantime be very careful, as I said before.
