high blood pressure question

[Janet]

I've been taking Diovan for years for high blood pressure. Runs in my family. I've never had any bad reactions to it at all.

Hey Janet! I take Diovan too!!! Same for me, no reactions, no problems at all.

My hubby took Lisinopril which is a med for high blood pressure (but he doesn't have high BP, he has to keep his BP low due to heart failure) and it took away his ability to smell, thus he couldn't taste his food. He was very sick at the time with another illness that was causing him to lose weight, so we had to change the Lisinopril to another med, because he was having a hard time with eating due to not being able to taste! It was very strange, but it is a side effect of Lisinopril.

Thanks Janet. Also got your note I'll send you an email later on tonight or tomorrow. Thanks. E. And, thanks to all with their replies. I have to go for blood work and some tests tomorow but right after I get it done I'll start taking the Avapro. Thanks again. E.
