I, too, was having similar symptoms as you. I *was* on 160mg of Diovan. I started just feeling like I couldn't go another mile, which was strange since my progress was so good up till then. I suspected my BP was bottoming. I went to my doctor and was told to cut the Diovan to half and try it. If it was still the same, go off of it - while having my company nurse monitor my BP. It is now firmly in the "OK" area. Now, I'm trying to justify a new bike by showing the ROI of dropping medicinal costs!
