What Causes Dizziness And Headache After Taking Valsartan?
Hi -- taking Valsartan for BP. Lots of dizziness, headaches, and inconsisent readings throughout the day. Reader reviews say it is because it is generic. I ve never taken Diovan -- can it be that different? Have taken Amlodapein but too many headaches.
