Im 44 years old and have been on Diovan 80mg for five years, it works great for my blood pressure and chest pains, the side affects are very crazy! the change up as if you have the flu. Weight gain is also up and down! I've tried to just get off it on my own and started very a very high blood pressure with chest pains. Currently Im trying more fresh ginger and water tea, it seems to be working for the headaches, stomach pains and nausea. Also you should look up Jamaica flower tea, it works great for the leg cramps and back pains, use it hot with ginger, lemon and a pack of spenda. Cut back on your red meats and eat more fish baked. The side affects come and go, but risk is greater of without some control of your pressure.

Is anyone having severe coughing and anxiety?

I've been on Diovan for about 9 months and I have all of the side effects everyone else here has mentioned! Weight gain, bloating, fatigue, mood swings, extreme muscle aches- especially in my lower back and legs, hunger, and more! These Drs. are sooo stupid!!!! They tell us to lose weight and then give all of us medications that cause weight gain. I am also diabetic and my Dr. also has me take Humalog insulin- which also causes weight gain! I would enjoy hearing from everyone who has had side effects from Diovan, and I would like to hear about alternative remedies for hypertension. Good luck and Best Wishes to all of you....Kim Q.

Muscle aches, headaches, fatigue but can't sleep at night. I also noticed water retention and constant bloating.
