For High Blood Pressure "Diovan effectively controlled my high blood pressure for 2 years. Then suddenly I developed low potassium levels; fluctuating blood pressure, rapid pulse, ringing in the ears, nausea and deep tissue pain with chronic inflammation. The dose was dropped by 1/2. Sleep apnea began. It took three months- many-ER visits, two hospitalizations and cardiac monitoring to figure out what my blood pressure was actually doing. Eventually it took only 1/4 of the dose of the medication to 'control' my pressure without causing side effects. The onset of these symptoms without doctors recognizing them created concern for me about this medication. I recommend regular monitoring of your own blood pressure."

For High Blood Pressure "Diovan 80 mg was prescribed to me. It did nothing for my blood pressure. I started on 160 mg/12.5, this increased my BP from 140/90 to 160/107 and gave me serious side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, etc. My sister takes this medicine without any problems."

For High Blood Pressure "I found that there are too many side effects with this medicine. The worst was numbing of my face, also, I had nausea and vomiting, which caused dehydration. I only took it for 2 weeks."
