Weight gain, I'm a 42 yr old male former marine and try to stay in shape. Normally go to the gym, run and work out 3 times a week. Since taking diovan I've went from my normal 187 lbs to 216 lbs. Thats a 29 lb gain. I'v started running farther and eating less-makes no differance. I went back and did a little research and the weight gain coinsides with when I started taking the diovan. I will be calling my Doc tomorrow to see about changing meds>>>>
