Htc symptoms and conditions

I have been taking Diovan not Diovan HTC for about a year. Recently I have noticed pain in both of my shoulders and in the joint of one finger. I also experienced very significant pain in my left wrist that seemed to come out of the blue. One of my hobbies is archery but the pain in my shoulders and upper arms does not allow me to enjoy this hobby. I simply cannot draw my bow without pain. I also cannot throw a ball with any authority without pain. I am a 65 year old mail and have never had any trouble like this until Diovan. I plan to stop taking it for a couple of weeks to see what changes I notice and will report back.

I have been on lisinopril for three months for high blood pressure.. Does anyone know any other drug that will sub for this curse? Tired all the time, Dizzy all the time. even laying down sometimes.Feels like there's a gum band around my head. I was taking Miacartis HTC with no side effects. I am with the VA now and they won't persribe Miacartis. Is there any other drug that might get me back to normal?

I am on Atacand (16mg.) for BP. I retain fluid, and have a probelm with one ankle swelling. My doctor put me on Maxide for the water retention. I now have less energy and my hair and skin feels dryer . So, I am actually on 2 meds. for high blood pressure??
Isn't tthere just a "water Pill" I could be put on?
I am on the generic for Maidxe Triam/HTC and was getting it from Eckerds, but just orderd th 3 month supply that my insurance offers.This new pill(Generic) and has 3 side effects listed that the pill from Eckerds did not have. I am getting now 2 stories... one from Eckerds. that say no side effects and one from RX Delivery, listing 3. ...may cause discoloration of urine and feces, avoid exposure to sunlight , and Be sureand take with food. None of these ever appeared on the bottle from Eckerss. and they say "NO" to these 3.I have not taken the new one yet!!
Have I called my Dr.?? No.
What do you think? I am 65.
