1 | Blood Pressure | I was on Toprol 100mg for a few year and it used to make me feel tired.I was given Diovan 160 mg two weeks ago.

That seems to work better for me. | M | 42 | 10 days | 5/25/2004 | 3 | hypertension | Medicine helped my bp but caused hairloss. I have very thick hair but it thinned alot on this med.
