http://www.medications.com/effect/view/39267 I am a 31 year old male, in decent shape (play basketball, volleyball, workout at least 3 times a week) but I have a family history of high blood pressure and have had it myself as long as I've been tested. Went to cardiologist as a check up on my slightly Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:04:22 -0500 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/39267?item=17422 An update to this.. Last night I had a mini panic attack at bed time and I *know* my bp was elevated. It felt almost like I had waaaaaaaay too much caffeine and wanted to jump out of my skin. I haven't yet started on the Diovan and have now been off Lisino http://www.medications.com/effect/view/39267?item=17422 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:09:38 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/39267?item=18456 Please reconsider taking Diovan HCT as well. I was on Diovan HCT 320/12.5 mg for years and just got off of them during the Christmas holidays, 2008. I was taking energy pills/drinks for the fatigue, Allegra for sinus problems, muscle relaxers and Advil http://www.medications.com/effect/view/39267?item=18456 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:39:21 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/39267?item=18460 Thanks! Basically I never got started on the Diovan and decided to just wait until I get a new cardiologist where I lived now since I moved. I still take the Metoprolol (25mg), but that never seemed to have any side affects so I'm fine with staying on that http://www.medications.com/effect/view/39267?item=18460 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:10:22 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/39267?item=20703 I had a similar experience to yours withLisinopril HCT, but without the cough. Extreme brain, arm, and neck fatigue and very interrupted light sleep. Oh, and the weight gain. About 10 lbs. My experience with Diovan was much the same.

I think I stated that when I was just fed up with the meds. Great points Janet. I know my doctors are all trying their best and are genuinely concerned about my health and know that in most cases the benefits outweigh the side affects or risks.
