I am sorry I can not really help except that I wanted to tell you my experience with Micardis. I got deep deep muscle pains, to the point I finally could not hardly walk. It moved around, thigh, calf, arm, etc and took me awhile to realize it was micardis. It IS listed as a minor side effect and major side effect RARELY. Anyway, if you notice muscle pains, it could be micardis.

Hope you find some help soon.
