What Is The Cause Of Severe Spikes When On Diovan?
I have been on Diovan. Increased dosage over a year ago to 160 due to severe spikes. Now I still get them occasionally. I get in late afternoon. Will changing time when I take it help? I have been taking at 9. Ut am a night owl and late sleeper. Should I wait later?

Hi,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns.
I advise to take Diovan as prescribed by your doctor. Following healthy lifestyle and diet regimen is also advisable.
If the severe spikes in blood pressure will persist, then, should reconsider the therapy with your cardiologist.
Hope it helped! Let me know if you have further queries!
