I (55 y.o. male, quit smoking 10 years ago, 8 hours/week intense exercise on road bicycle, Cholesterol low, TG high) was diagnosed with hypertension a few years back (average BP 140/90) and put on Diovan 160mg qd (average BP 125/85). All seemed well for a time, but then my right leg quit getting enough blood. The MD put 3 stents in my right iliac artery to restore the blood flow. My guess is that the arterial insufficiency to my right leg had been causing the right leg to demand more BP causing my hypertension. After the angioplasty, my BP fell to 100/65. So, I stopped taking the Diovan. The average BP during the week since is 112/76.

Is my hypertension cured or is this just a side effect of the 5mg qd Coumadin, which is temporary?

The only other change is 81mg ASA qd.
