I recently have developed hypertension. My doctor prescribed a med that gave me horrible side effects. It is DIovan. I took it two days and the second day, horrible acid reflux, very bad pain in my right kidney, just overall felt awful. I am overweight and I joined weight watchers, but am just beginning that. I walk every day for 30 minutes on my treadmill. I thought of taking systolex, but don't know if that would work. I do take a natural pill for my gout, which works great. What do you think?
