Co-diovan Side Effect?
UpdatedI've been taking 80mg/12.5 for some months now; bp when measured with two different monitors (upper arm and wrist) has averaged 106-110/61-63, with diastolic figures at times lower than 60, heart rate 55-70. Readings are elevated at the doctors clinic ~ 130-140/75-80. Main problem is regular tension like headache, with similar burning sensation feeling occasionally behind the ears / neck region. CT scan results okay. Electrolytes figures, kidney & liver function tests, and sugar level tests results also okay. I'm strongly convinced that the co-diovan medication is responsible for the headaches / burning sensation feeling described early. My doctors are still observing and this has affected quality of life for me. Is anyone with a similar experience and how can this be addressed!!! I take co-diovan on alternative days because of this most times and BP has not risen.

Hello, Awhy! How are you?
Yes, this medication may cause that as a side effect in some people that take it.
You may just need to switch to a different medication. I had problems with many of the cardiac/blood pressure medications and ended up trying quite a few, before finding the ones that worked for me, without making me miserable.
If it was just a temporary side effect, it would have eased up after about 4 to 6 weeks.
Is there anything else I can help with?
