I am 55 yr old female with HTN for last 2 years.  My BP was hard to contol the 1st year but with the addition of diovan to atenolo and HCTZ it is under controlFor the last couple of days, I have a throbbing sensation on my right side of my abdomen between my last rib and hip bone.  It is not painful but of concern.  It seems to come and go.  Any ideas of what it is?
Hi. History of your hypertension noted. IT is good that it is controlled well with the new addition. The medicines are not likely to cause the sensation you have. The reason for the throbbing sensation on the right side of abdomen as you said can be- Colitis of ascending colon (large bowel) retrocecal appendicitis, right ureteric stone, right kidney infection, HY Chat Doctor. The treatment will depend upon the diagnosis. Continue your medicines for Hypertension. A course of antibiotic and Metronidazole is a good idea.
