NO side effects at all, had bad heart palpitations on Lisinopril so they switched me to Valsartan. No issues since.

Comment:
This wasn't the first drug they tried me out on, but it was the first one that worked well and didn't give me any side effects. I have an extensive family history of hypertension, and so far this drug has been wonderful for controlling mine.

Comment:
Had very high b/p and needed to take meds. Worked closely with dr. until we figured out what was effective. That's the secret! Been on 80-12.5 plus metoproplol/tart50mg. and have gotten it under control. Take control of your health people! Do some homework! If you need to, get a new dr.!

Comment:
I usually take my BP medication right before I go to bed, but this generic version of Diovan causes my mouth to go so dry that my tongue feels swollen and my mouth so cotton dry I can't sleep. I have irregular heart beats and palpation's, I can't take it anymore, it is awful.
