I have been on Diovan for about three months now, and it has lowered my blood pressure. Unfortunately, I am experiencing a side effect (I think) from the medicine. About eight months ago I had two inguinal hernias repaired. It was not until I started taking Diovan that I started having burning and a light pulling sensation in both areas. Is it possible that because the blood vessels in that area are being relaxed by the Diovan that I am having problems? My doctor thought it might be from an infection that is common with the mesh that is used. He prescibed an antibiotic, but this has done nothing to help. Any thoughts???? Thanks, Angelo in Kissimmee
