Does Diovan Cause Weight Gain?

Good day! Yes does Diovan cause weight gain? Recently underwent left thyroidectomy in January. Labs as I d 3months ago show no abnormal results. Recently in March had a significant reaction to Norvasc with lower extremity edema. Started on Diovan. Have not changed diet but weight increasing. Very frustrated and not sure who to go to next.
