Controlled my blood pressure. I have had a sinus condition before taking Diovan. It just increased my sinus problems causing anxiety, and sleeplessness. ENT said no sinus problem as well as my MD. Breathe strips and nasal spray to control sinus helped sleeping & anxiety. Ask MD to take Benicar instead and after 2 days with no sleep aids, I am back to normal.

On 20 mg. per day, I'm experiencing depression, lethargy, tiredness, back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain and increased ringing in ears. This is my last day on Diovan. | I've developed Ty.2 Diabetes and my doctor wants BP lower than normal, less than 120/70. Diovan certainly works to reduce BP, but the side effects are way too much for me.
