Comment:
I was taking 30MG of XL and my blood pressure still wasn't coming down, so my doctor increased it to 60MG. As soon as I increased, I started experiencing side effects such as "feeling of warmth" throughout my body, but especially my ears and thighs. They felt like they were on fire!! So annoying. Then my feet started to swell up. Switching medications AGAIN.

Comment:
Prescribed by MD after blood pressure has gone wildly high. After one pill my BP went down but got a roaring headache and feet turned red and swelled up. Can't continue to take it. My Diovan 320 seems to have stopped working for some reason. Taking Clonidine as emergency treatment tho makes me sleepy.

I have been on this medicine for years, the 30 mg. My blood pressure began to go too high so the Dr. put me on 60 mg. Now I have been having nausea and dizziness after breakfast. I didn't think about it being my bp medicine until I read this article.
