My husband is freaking out. He feels he's gained weight on Diovan. Has anyone else noticed this. Is there any other b/p medication that DOES NOT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN AND DOES NOT CAUSE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?
He doesn't want a beta blocker - too many side effects especially ED, He was on ACE Inhibitor - Monopril - and got the "cough" but now he's willing to exchange the weight gain for the cough.
Is there any type of b/p medication that does not cause these two problems mentioned above. I do know everyone is different and experiences different side effects,from different medications, but overall there has to be one that could satisfy my husband's needs. Anyone? :confused: :confused
