Brief Answer:
Possible side effects of irbesartan
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Irbesartan on its own can cause these side effects you mentioned as well as exacerbate already compromised or reduced functioned heart or kidneys. it also changes the electrolyte balance in the body that causing these fatigue symptoms and feeling of being unwell. Get a potassium levels done to rule out hyperkalemia ( high potassium) as the likely cause of your symptoms and commonest adverse effect reported in every 5th user of irbesartan.
Rest treat your symptoms and talk to your doctor for followup screening too. I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
