For High Blood Pressure "I have been on this medication for about six years. At first, it lowered my blood pressure, but lately, I am still in the 140s over 90s, and recently started having ringing in my ears. During the time I was taking this, I would become tired during the day and could not walk up one flight of stairs without being out of breath. I started on a workout regime for 9 months now to get into shape and still had fatigue and shortness of breath. I also started to have slight heart palpitations, so I decided to quit all medicines, keep track of my blood pressure, and went to the doctor and told him my symptoms and plans. I changed my lifestyle to be much healthier than it had been with diet and exercise. No more fatigue and pressure is even better."

For High Blood Pressure "Taking drug for about 5 years and blood pressure stays around 140/93. All of a sudden started having ringing in ears and decided to go off Diovan after reading this was a side effect. Also noticed shortness of breath, weight gain, and tiredness. Now blood pressure is about the same without Diovan or any other medication except still have the ringing in the ears."

For High Blood Pressure "After using Diovan for only a few days, I developed shortness of breath and my blood pressure skyrocketed. I was also very lethargic. Within 2 days of stopping and going back to my old blood pressure medication, my pressure dropped significantly. This drug did NOT work for me for what it was prescribed for."

For High Blood Pressure "I've been taking Diovan HCT (80/12.5) for a little over one year. It has done the trick on my blood pressure but leaves me with a slight headache and afternoon lethargy. After about 8:00 pm, I usually start to feel better. My doctor and I tried 3 other medicines before Diovan HCT with no results. I don't know if the side effects are something I will just have to live with or not. I will discuss this on my next Dr.'s visit."

For High Blood Pressure "I have been taking Diovan 160 mg along with three other medications. My blood pressure went down from 160/100 to 135/90, but I'm not sure if it was due to this medicine or the other three. I seem to get tired in the afternoon when my dosage was increased from 80 to 160 mg."
