[|Human|] My blood pressure ranges from 111 over 60 when I am taking Diovan HCT 160/25 mg. I feel so tired all the time and I find it hard to concentrate or meet my daily responsibilities. I stopped taking Diovan HCT for a couple weeks and immediately felt better and had more energy...I was actually happy for a change. The on got a bad headache that wouldn t go away. I took my blood pressure and it range from 130 to 156 over a 7 day period. During that time I started taking Diovan HCT again and now after about 10 days, I m feeling sick, tired, depressed and stressed out. My blood pressure is 111/59 today and evening. My question is: Do I have to take Diovan every day or only when my blood pressure exceeds 140. My doctor doesn t seem to take an interest when I call her. Help please advise. Should I go to a different doctor for help? Thank you.
[|AI|]  Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this sick feeling while on Divan HCT. The blood pressure is very normal but would be considered somewhat abnormal for a person on treatment for high blood pressure. The goal of your treatment should be having the blood pressure less than 140 but not as low as 111. The dosage of divan HCT should be adjusted. It appears the current dose is too much for you.
