high blood pressure
"I started taking Benicar once daily last summer after being diagnosed with High Blood Pressure.  I am 100 lbs overweight and this trip to the doctor for HBP began my quest for weight loss surgery.  Benicar was working okay initially but cardiologist finally put me on Benicar HCT to help with the water retention. BEST CHOICE EVER!  I couldn't believe how great I felt.  Felt like a 20 something year old again.  Had my lap band surgery in January and now I'm down 40 lbs since last summer and guess what? No more Benicar HCT.  However I do carry it with me per my cardiologist's advice if I experience any further HBP problems. I highly recommend Benicar HCT.  Have told my brothers and my mother to all ask their doctors about it."
