Recent health check reflected high blood pressure had returned and this time I was given "generic" version Valsartan/Hydrochlorothiazide 160 mg/12.5 mg with terrible results. Within days of taking this medication I have developed severe ringing in the ears (tinnitus) along with fluttering heart beat and difficulty concentrating. I am not sure if these side effects are being caused from the ACE inhibitor (angiotensin II receptor) in the generic Valsartan or the diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide part of the tablet. I stopped the medication after 6-days and still experiencing ringing of the ears after 3-days without this medication with plans to see my doctor next week and demand a different formulary high blood pressure medication without the "hydrochlorothiazide". | I'm really distressed about the severe ringing of the ears (tinnitus) which started after taking hydrochlorothiazide for only 6-days and have discontinued use 3-days ago though this terrible ringing continues. | F | 52 | 6 days 12.5 1X day | 4/14/2016 | 1 | High blood pressure | I have sholder blade pain, sciatica, foot cramps, leg cramps, increased joint pain that switches sides, sensative finger tips and big toe, anxiety, shortness of breathe, pins and needles,waves of burning over body, dry mouth, pain in leg and foot while sleeping.

Hair loss. | I have been to see so many doctors and had so many tests done due to the muscle cramps in my back, hips, and thighs. I am not a big water drinker and even when I try to be, it still does not make the cramping go away. It took an article on low magnesium levels to make me start researching the drugs I do take. I've been feeling old since they put me on this drug. It's ruined a lot of my life. | 58 | 10 years 25 1X day | 3/2/2016 | 1 | HBP | Problems within 1 hour of taking meds / first time taking this drug: Took med at 07:30am as prescribed with large glass of water.

The opposite happened. A real nightmare. This med had the most horrible side effects known to man. I am now on my 2nd day off of the med and feeling just a little better. It may take a week for this crap to be gone totally. Drinking many bottles of Gatoraid to replace all the electrolytes stripped from my body. Beware of the listed side effects. They are very real.
