Hey Janet! I take Diovan too!!! Same for me, no reactions, no problems at all.

My hubby took Lisinopril which is a med for high blood pressure (but he doesn't have high BP, he has to keep his BP low due to heart failure) and it took away his ability to smell, thus he couldn't taste his food. He was very sick at the time with another illness that was causing him to lose weight, so we had to change the Lisinopril to another med, because he was having a hard time with eating due to not being able to taste! It was very strange, but it is a side effect of Lisinopril.
