Q: 

I take micardis and baby aspirin daily. I just added the baby aspirin and I am experiencing a shortness of breath while resting . Could the baby aspirin be the cause.

I am 58, very active - I run 6 miles 4 or 5 days a week, maintain a weight program and walk the golf course carrying my bag 3 times a week. I eat a healthy diet of dark leafy greens, fruit, fiber, fish, chicken and some meat.

Hi anonymous,

Drugs.com provides information about known drug interactions between pills. For your specific question, please click here to read more about aspirin and micardis http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/aspirin-with-micardis-243-0-2152-1401.html.

For a laundry list of medications with interactions with micardis, please click here http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/telmisartan,micardis.html.

Drugs.com indicates to tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: signs of loss of too much body water and minerals (e.g., unusual thirst, muscle cramps, weakness, confusion, fast/irregular heartbeat, fainting, seizures), decreased sexual ability.

Since this is an uncommon side effect that you are experiencing, you should contact your physician about your shortness of breath as a fast/irregular heartbeat is an uncommon side effect and you should be monitored.

I hope this helps. Please keep us updated.
