After being on Diovan hct 160/25 for about two years I developed a severe stiffness in my neck, a piercing center chest pain when I coughed and so much muscle/joint pain I could barely get out of bed in the morning. Don't know if it is a result of Diovan, but this is my only med. Finally (after a year) I spent six months undergoing tests and consults with one doctor who finaly gave up. A second doctor diagnosed fibromyalgia and prescribed diclofenac, which somewhat controls the neck stiffness and pain. Now, a year after the fibromyalgia diagnosis I am learning Diovan might be at fault but don't know what to do next. Any suggestions welcome!...

I have been on Diovan 320 mcg for at least 2 years - and have gradually developed neck stiffness (inability to turn head full 90 degrees without severe strain), and more recently sciatic (back) pain and shooting pain in leg to outer sole of the foot. What does your doctor say about this?

In addition to what I have just written about possible Diovan involvement, I have developed an inner trrembling feeling and occasional tremble of right hand. Doctor makes no association to drugs.(I also take Dynacirc). Ugh.
