1 | High Blood Pressure | Where do I begin? Joint pain (gout type symptoms), muscle pain, increased GERD issues, blurry eyes, no energy at all, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, crying spells, brain fog, bad shortness of breath, very dizzy and equilibrium is off balance, messing with my blood sugar, occasional headaches, itching, weight gain, hot flashes, sweating in odd places on my body, scratchy throat, sinus issues, dry mouth, I'm sure there are more but this is all that comes to mind right now. | I am taking Valsartan (Mfg by Solco) which is a generic for Diovan. Yes, in the beginning, it did lower my blood pressure and has kept it reasonably low. BUT, the side effects crept up as this POISON started building up in my system. I am a single dad of two teenage boys and was fairly active with them. Now, I am a worthless blob who can barely function. It has taken me some time to realize that this drug has caused all of this nightmare. I have gained weight around my stomach that I cannot lose. Since on this, I have had a sore tail bone, sore knees, arthritis type pain in my hand and finger joints and an odd pain in my right forearm....what??? None of this makes any sense. I have become so depressed and anxious that I can hardly leave the house. Can't wait for the doctor to tell me it's all in my head. The side effects for this drug far outweigh any positive effects it may have on your blood pressure. My kids are headed out for spring break to enjoy the day and I'm down in bed suffering from this crap. I wouldn't recommend this stuff to my enemy. | M | 54 | 6 months 80MG 1X D | 4/19/2017 | |
