I used to take Diovan 80 MG for hypertnsion. Recently I had to undergo angioplasty and my bp reduced substantilly, sometimes falling to 110/80  or 100/70Should I continue Diovan? One doctor suggested that Diovan is not for hypertention but to stabilize heart. Pls enlighten me.
Hi, Diovan is a medication that regulates blood pressure and also has a beneficial effect on heart. It is possible that your doctor prescribed Divan not only for regulating blood pressure but also for those effects. Blood pressure 110/70 is good, but if you have tendency for a lower blood pressure, then Divan dosage should be revised. You should talk to your doctor about the possibility to decrease the dosage, the smallest dose for Divan is 40 mg. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions
