I just restarted it. Had a disaster when trying telmisartan so went back to carditone. My bp never gets very high but did go up recently. Many say you can't feel blood pressure but you can when it's elevated and it goes down quickly. I feel much better since starting 2 days ago. I get no side effects whatsover but as mentioned above that's not the case for everyone. Definitely a must try for anyone who wants to lower blood pressure without going to the doctor. It should go without saying everyone should go the doctor about health issues but I know what some guys are like on here
