question: I am a 71 yr. old woman and have taken Diovan for many yearsI am a 71 yr. old woman and have taken Diovan for many years because of episodes of high blood pressure. But this was at least 15-10 yrs. ago and I have had no high blood pressure. I always have low blood pressure with a very low pulse (40-45) which has caused concern with another doctor of mine. I have no energy or desire to do anything. Yesterday I didn't take my pill and I felt normal. But my concern is how to get off the medication, as I know it is not good to just stop taking a medication altogether. I need to know what I should do in coming off this medication.
