What Causes Breathlessness While On Diovan For High BP?
I have high blood pressure and my doctor put me on Diovan. I constantly feel like my heart is over exerting itself, even talking makes me feel like I can't breath and I'm constantly trying to get a good breath of air. She still wants me to take this medicine and I cannot function on it. Should I keep taking it.

Hello,
Valsarton drug may not cause breathlessness until unless you are allergic to this drug. Also, check for respiratory infection or bronchial asthma or anemia et cetera.
Take alternate medicine in place of it like Telmisarton, Candi Sarton, or Losarton and see what happens.
If symptoms do not improve, please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
