| 4 | HBP | Zero (known) side effects from Diovan. I have full blood work done every six months (at my cost) and over the 10 years on Diovan no changes in Kidney or Liver function. No other side effects. | M | 52 | 10 years 80 1X day | 3/27/2017 | 4 | hypertension | The 80 mg has worked fine for me with no side effects except occasional vivid dreams. My BP has stabilized at 140/90 and for me that is just fine. I don't accept that one set of numbers is 'normal' for everybody. | M | 69 | 1 years | 11/23/2009 | 4 | Joint pain, dyspnea, congestion. | M | 53 | 3 months | 6/6/2014 | 4 | hypertension | M | 44 | 12 months | 8/8/2009 | 4 | hbp | Headaches once in awhile...The doctor raised my dosage from 160mg to 320 mg each day. I can not see why everybody is belly aching. My side affects are somewhat noticeable and bothersome, but I think, under the circumstances of 205/110 BP was drastic...Now it is 100/70. I should thank God...I have been blessed. | I really find it strange how this drug affects different people totally different ways. | M | 52 | 800 days | 7/16/2008 | 4 | HP 150/90 | Ringing ears | I have cut the pill in half 40mg and my BP is 130/78 | M | 66 | 3 years | 7/19/2008 | 4 | High blood pressure 155/95 | Started out 80mg, some improvement, after 1 year went to 160mg...now 125/65 First 3 weeks I was in "slow motion". Since then, everything is fine. No side effects. | I started excercising more, watched calories, lost weight. | M | 55 | 3 years | 9/3/2008 | 4 | Hypertension | None noted to date; realize that side effects can be exacerbated by other factors: other drug interactions (Rx/OTC/herbal), stress, current level of health and even allergies. | Had been on Lisinopril for years but developed the persistent, dry cough (I had always thought all side effects started right away, apparently not); Diovan (320mg) and exercise keeping my BP at 120/80 range. | M | 53 | 10 months | 1/7/2009 | 4 | BP 138/90 | Nothing noticed, but felt bad after reading comments of others! | Diovan 80 has brought BP down to 120/77, seems OK to me. My wife takes Diovan 160+diuretic for two years now, no adverse effects apparent. | M | 65 | 30 days | 11/20/2008 | 4 | blood pressure | None | M | 68 | 1 years | 11/7/2008 | 4 | BP 140/102 Advise By doctor | Lehthargy , Giddiness , stiff neck , ankle pain | No idea | M | 40 | 28 days | 11/25/2007 | 4 | High BP | Jesus all mighty, I thought I was going nuts, eyes swelling, crying, light headed, lethargy, but most off all I thought I was up for a cerebral scan why? due to that unberable ear ringing every time I woke up!! I was waiting for a cerebral stroke, my joints were stiff. Doctor said take two a day 80mg, i took only one & was supossed to take also Isoptin SR 240mg can u imagine? The wife gave me the idea about the posibilities that one or more of this drugs was the reason for my going bezerk!! Discontinued wold take it ocassionally, please take care! | M | 62 | 2 months | 12/23/2007 | 4 | Hypertension | None | Works ok,taking 160 mg daily | M | 50 | 5 months | 7/20/2003 | 4 | Blood pressure | Dizziness, hoarseness, sleepy | M | 50 | 5 weeks | 4/29/2003 | 4 | high blood pressure | M | 57 | 1 years | 11/27/2002 | 4 | to control high blood presssure | I have a slight hoarsness to my voice. Diovan was prescribed in the place of Altace, which was also giveing my a hoarse voice. I wonder if this is the reaction of other patients. I find my self clearing my throat a lot. | M | 75 | 4 months | 12/7/2002 | 4 | high BP | After about 60 days of taking 40mg Diovan, started to have joint pain, first left knee, then left elbow, now left hip - seeing the doctor in a week. | Did lower BP from 150 to 130's | M | 69 | 75 days | 3/30/2005 | 4 | high blood pressure | M | 49 | 6 times | 9/1/2004 | 4 | had problem with lowtesin | As others I feel more tired than I think I should be. However, I am 67 but in generally excellent health. I did gain weight when I started this medicine. But thought it was due to my extremely bad eating habits. Went on Akins and lost much of it. However,I do think this medicine may have had someting to do with it. My heart rate has been a worry and the BP readings are not consistent. | I wish you could control the dosage by cutting the pill in half but hard to do with its configuration. | M | 67 | 2 years | 4/29/2007 | 4 | bp HIGH .175/100 | TINGLING-TOES HANDS. LETHARGIC-HITS HARD 1ST HR. CONFUZIT -SOME TIMES. SEEMS LIKE LOOSE STOOLS ARE (AFTER 3 WEEKS )JUST NOW OCCURING. LIGHT SENSITIVE FOR THE 1ST WEEK OR SO.GAS.and more Gas.(!) ..To be continued. | 80m mg.No diuertic. Has helped.Feel overall better.Migranes have stopped.Ive really made an effort to avoid ALL salt and products w/ it.I think the overall phys. health /eating habits/life style (Ie; sedentary vrs. active) ..etc. when using powerful drugs as this one, plays a important part on how the person reacts to the side effects.But overall in the long term its the best route, when one accepts the fact that a healthy daily routine including a good med can serve you well ,if one cares about extending a good life. | M | 57 | 22 days | 6/18/2007 |
