Weight Gain, Back Pain, Bloating, Dizziness, Sore Throat, Stuffy Nose, Sneezing, Anxiety, Muscle Pain. Advice?

I have been on Anacand for 2 1/2 years. I have gained weight, have back pain, bloating, dizziness, mild sore throat, shortness of breath, stuffy nose, sneezing, head feels heavy, extreme anxiety, muscle pain in right arm and both legs. I do have a pacemaker and wanted to go off Anacand and my doctor won't listen to me. What do I do?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.. Forum.
Atacand ( anacand ) is candesartan , side effects are dizziness, nausea, sore throat, stuffy nose , upper respiratory infection .
As you stated that you are already on pace maker so in my opinion consult one more cardiologist and get his opinion as physical as well ECHO E K G report is very important in this case.
Weight gain is dangerous so consultation is important .
Good luck. Dr. HET
