Does valsartan affect your cognition or mental health? trying to figure out if my brain fog, memory/ concentration issues and increased anxiety are because of this drug or another factor. also experiencing bloating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does not usually affect mental health or memory or bloating. it can cause nervous ness. It is best to discuss this with the prescriber and may be change to another drug. Hope you feel better
