For High Blood Pressure "Irbesartan lowers the blood pressure pretty well but gives me heart palpitations along with body tremors and makes me tired. I also noticed my vision being blurry. I'm trying to give the medicine a chance, but if the side effects don't go away soon, I will not be taking this medicine any longer."

For High Blood Pressure "I have been on irbesartan 150 mg for 6 months now, and it is not helping. One day my pressure is 115/85, then goes up to 130/90. I have bad ringing in my ears (but I have learned from reading that the noise is really in your head). I am also tired during the day. Some nights I sleep 8 hours, and then some nights sleep 4 hours. This drug is not helping me at all."

For High Blood Pressure "I've been on 150 mg for about 6 or 7 months. My BP for the past ten days has been all over the place. It seems like for the past couple of days that about 20 minutes after I take my dose my blood pressure goes up over 160 and up. Tonight I checked it and it read 195 over 86. I have no energy most days. The only thing I can say good about this med is that prior to taking it I was having a sleep disorder that since being on this has not occurred. I don't know if it's because this med makes me sleepy or if it's because my previous med caused the disorder. I will be seeing a cardiologist soon and will be discussing other possible medications."
