For High Blood Pressure "Diovan HCT 160/12.5 - took for over 8 years. Blood pressure was controlled...however, did not realize that daily headaches, hair thinning, up and down blood sugar, weight gain, muscle aches, etc. were side effects. Stopped taking and all symptoms started to go away."

So, if your scalp becomes pink and irritable and you start developing thinning or actual bald patches, ask your doctor to switch you to another medication."
