Has anyone had experience with being taken off a water pill because of incontinence? I find that my blood pressure in rising and the substitute is not working as well.

I was on Diovan for my blood pressure before surgey. My pressure was only slightly high so I took myself off of it. The other day I took a dose because work has been gettin to me a little. I leaked like crazy the next day. So I quit taking it agian. I will just let the work crap go and not worry about it.

Just my opinion....but do what is best for you.

My doctor just put me on a water pill for hypertension; he doesn't think it will affect my incontinence much. I use one pad a day now. Will be interesting to see...
