Diovan and fish oil

My 76 year old Mother on hbp meds for 30 years, on Diovan and metoprolol and two other hbp meds, Well after years of complain of severe pain, coughing, NIGHTMARES!! fainting,hair loss, she also has lost her walking gait, walks funny, Well a few months ago, I started cooking and shopping for her, Lean protein, LOTS of raw fruits and veggies, and lots of water,Last month the Dr cut the metoprolol and a lot of the pain stopped, So did the nightmares!! shes feeling so much better, Well her bp was so good today at the doctors He said she could cut back on the DIovan, Maybe in time she can get off of this one also, She also has been taking 1-2 tbl a day of apple cider vinegar,garlic,fish oil, and eating mostly vegan, Shes lost 20 lbs, ALL of this has taken place in a few months, I feel bad I didn't do this for her 30 years ago, She takes her bp daily and it seems if she eats white flour sugar salt anything but healthy food, it goes up. GOOD LUCK ! and don't wait 30 years,

I have been on Diovan for 2 and 1/2 years. I have noticed SO MANY of the symptoms that everyone is describing!! There is one that nobody has mentioned and that is vaginal pain. I have been to gynecologists, urologists, general practitioners and a heart specialist for all of the symptoms. Nobody has been able to figure out the vaginal pain. I am 56 years old and know that atrophy vaginitis may have something to do with it, but why is it that when I don't take my diovan, I don't have the pain down there as much. It is the worst of all the symptoms, so in time, we will see if the others subside. Like some of you, it seemed like one day I got up and felt like I was 80 instead of 56! Why don't the doctors take a very good look at your meds when you are having problems that they cannot figure out!? It does take my blood pressure down but I am going to start taking garlic and fish oil to see if they will help.

Pain in right side lower back (around waist area). Like you have gas in your back. Constipation...dizziness.
