Starting BP was 180/110 at times. Was started on metoprolol which was still giving me readings up around 160/100. I was switched to Irbesartan a few months ago and it's been very effective on its own. I get readings around 110/68 and have had no side effects. I am currently on the highest dosage but my readings are low enough, I'll be starting to cut it in half.

I've been taking this now for 3 weeks and I've noticed my HBP getting lower and my heart rate is going down. Hopefully, this will bring everything back to normal again.

I have been given this because of high blood pressure and heart/kidney complications due to diabetes and am extremely happy to finally be on something that the side affects don't outweigh the condition being treated, giving me a far better quality of life, no side affects as yet
