Sometimes not always sure if it is just me( attitude, depression, way of thinking about life) or it is the med?,, of course, it couldnt be the med, right?,, the doc wouldnt give me something that is bad for me, right?.. I have been taking Diovan (40, 80) for about a year or so and 25 hctz,,but I constantly struggle for a feeling of sanity,,(sounds crazy, huh?),, I have anxiety, palps, shortness of breath, tiredness, wake up with heart beating out of chest (thats fun)...so I feel like I am swimming against the tide each day and struggle to feel halfway normal,, its amazing that I can even go to work.

This is the same way I am feeling, but it took me six weeks to figure out it was from the diovan, since no one told me what to watch for .... I thought I was depressed and going nuts .... I have had heart palpatations, horrible anxiety, fatigue, depression, tight chest, etc. only since diovan. tomorrow I am supposed to cut it in half, but I am calling my cardiologist and talking with her .... lisinpril made me cough horribly and now Diovan is making me a basket case ..... will let you know what happens next .... be sure to never go off your meds without checking with a doctor by the way....I read on this link where some of you good people just stop taking your bp meds, and that is not good. Just tell your doctor you need something else....bestof luck, m.
