I'm getting horrible anxiety and panic attacks with 40mg Valsartan. My cardiologist wants to try Irbesartan but I'm afraid to try it because the half life is longer. Losartan gave me chills. Blood pressure around 115-120/80 down from 130s/80s?
How does blood pressure medication cause a hypertensive crisis?! Listed side effects for Irbesartan: "myocardial infarction, arrhythmic/conduction disorder, hypertensive crisis." Now I'm afraid to try it, trying to switch from Valsartan?
Since Irbesartan has a half life of 11-15 hours and Valsartan is 6 hours, does the blood pressure lowering effect last longer with a single dose or is the half life inconsequential?
I've been on Valsartan for the past 5 months. If I switch to Irbesartan will it mess up my bp? I feel like my anxiety/ panic attacks got worse since I started Valsartan, even though Google/research studies say ARBs help anxiety and depression?
Of the high blood pressure medicines diovan, (valsartan) Benicar or avapro, which has the least side effects?
