My anxiety/hyperarousal has gotten worse with Valsartan. Should I switch to Irbesartan or a different class of blood pressure medication?
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?
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?
Valsartan is the only ARB approved for post-myocardial infarction. What's the reason for this, what advantage does it have over other ARBs?
Experiencing mild nausea with Valsartan 40mg. I take at bedtime and feel it next day. Is this a side effect of the medication? Dr. run blood tests + urine, said I have mild cholesterol. Suggested Irbesartan but doesn't know the cause?
