Absolutely not: There's no withdrawal from HCT and your symptoms are most unusual. It sounds like exertion may be related to your SOB since it only occurs by day - depending on what your catheterization showed and how long ago it was done, a treadmill stress test might be indicated.

Taking Benicar (olmesartan) HCT 20/12.5 for over a year. WBC count has risen to 12.7. Is the Benicar (olmesartan) causing this? Is it leukemia? Never had a problem before.
