My 5th day now using 50mg Losartan and my blood pressure dropped from 143/98 to 110/80(avg). However, a side effect that I'm noticing now is irregular heartbeat after eating.

@@EsoTarek I improved my diet and exercise and no longer take any pills.

This was very helpful as I’m lopressor for nine years now and I have had continuing blood sugar increases as well as a high hematocrit level and hemoglobin. I have seen continual increases since 2015 when I was placed on this medication. Since my blood sugar range has gone way up as well I was looking for a medication replacement that would tackle both of these issues. This seems to be it. Plus I’ve developed numbness in left middle fingertip of right hand which is another side effect. Ty for sharing this information.

Thank You

Been taking Losartan 100mg for about a year now. I've been experiencing more anxiety and worse, horrible nightmares almost every night that cause waking in the wee hours. I've seen anxiety and nightmares as a side effect online, but my Dr. doesn't believe me. I need sleep!

Does berberine effect the use of losartan

Since starting Losartan 2 months ago I have experienced severe low back pain. The pain is coming from my SI joint on the left side. My initial dosage was 50 mg, but that’s been reduced to 25mg (taken 12.5mg twice a day). All BP meds have negative side effects, so switching to another medication would probably bring another side effect. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi. I have been taking Cozaar for 1 year now to isolated diastolic hypertension. Yesterday I had my annual medical check up. Everything appeared as normal but I now have a few small kidney stones (0.2-0.4mm). My question is could the Cozaar have caused this? I am only 40 and I have concerns about what this may do to my kidneys long term.

How old are you? The 120 isn’t meant for older people. Find an age blood pressure chart. I am 80 and 137 is perfect for me. I stopped all medications and feel great again. No aches or pains. There are natural supplements that work with no side effects. Of course if you have serious heart problems, you really need to speak to dr and say that you want to change medications. Do research on medications, the side effects. You need to take control of your own health. KZread has lots of info and do searches. Also blood pressure measured at the dr office is always wrong. The correct way empty your bladder ( a full bladder increases blood pressure reading). Feet need to be on the floor while sitting and the cuff not on clothes but skin. The reading should be taken at home, several times a day, and you will get different readings. Blood pressure isn’t just one number at the dr office (white coat syndrome). Also rest and calm yourself then Take it. Good Luck.

Hello Doctor. Does losartan reduce heart rate?

@devyas

7 ай бұрын

It’s not a beta blocker (like carvedilol) or calcium channel blocker (like diltiazem) which are the two classes that reduce heart rate. Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker with little effect on heart rate directly.

How long have you been taking it? I've been taking it for 10 weeks and the first 2-3 weeks I felt like what you described, then over time the side effects decreased... or I just got used to them. One thing that really helped me with side effects is exercise...however I never do hard work or exercise right after I take Lorsartan (with metoprolol) at 10pm, I exercise from about 6pm- 8pm then take a shower, relax and take it with a meal. Hang in there, you should get used to it.
