Diovan and excessive gas

I have been taking Diovan HCT 160 for the past 4 years and did not realize the side effects I am experiencing is from this medication. After reading comments from this site I now realize why I am having hair loss, lower back pains, fatigue, sleepless nights, weight gain, palpitations, anxiety, excessive gas, depression, daily joint and body pains. Just about everything on this page is what I have been going through. Has it maintained my BP, Yes! I have gone from 150/100 to 120/80.
I am so glad I came across this site. I will be speaking with my PCP, ASAP.

I have been on Doivan for a little over 2 weeks now. Sudden drops in BP, fever, sore throat, gas and bloating increased heart rate, back pain....severe muscle spasms in my feet and legs. I even went to the emergengy room thinking I was having a heart attack because of the back pain and excessive gas which caused me to feel like I had a boa constrictor wrapped around my mid section. This is a nasty little drug which I will discontinue tomorrow....back to my cozar which had few side effects, but does not control my BP completely, but this medication made me feel like I was dying!! Anyone else experience these symptoms??
