You’re concise and not dramatic. I have confidence in you
Crazy. Has never worked for me. Took it for years and felt bad, blood pressure, despite taking it with 3 other bp drugs, still very high. Stopped losartan and felt much better and no change in blood pressure in terms of going up. As a matter of fact, it has gotten slightly better. Crazy.
My VA Doctor mention Dizziness & nothing else. The paperwork that came with Lorsatan mentioned a few more side effects, but you cover twice as many. Thank you very much. No more bananas for me.
I watched a few other doctors but found your's the best explanation, you also made it interesting, thank you.
I've been on this medicine for a little over a month now and seem to be suffering from insomnia for the last two weeks. I'm only sleeping 2 ro 3 hrs a night. Made an appointment with my Dr. To get off it
Thank you so much very clear explanation Doc.
Thank you for the Tips you shared Doc.

I have been on losartan .25 mg. now for about 5 days. The first 2 days....I was so dizzy...when I woke up in the morning. So, my dr. told me to cut it in half....have right after dinner...verses before bed...the half..makes me less dizzy...feeling wears off...& my bp is coming down...we will see how this next week progresses....because getting my bp under control is #1 priority...I am 67yrs. & 175lbs. and look like I'm 50yrs.

Everyone's bodily system is different because of our various gene makeups. I'm 80 and been on it for several years now with NO known side effects and great BP. Have your DR suggest other alternatives to try. Sometimes it is all trial and error to reach the right balance. Good luck.

Thank you for this information! I was on Metoprolol, but it lowered by heart rate to the low 40's, but never lowered my BP. Then cardiologist put me on Lisinipril. It lowered my BP, but developed a bad cough was bad that was frequent, and very spasmodic, 24/7, even with taking Robitussin or Mucinex. Now they have started me on Losartan 25mg. Hoping this works!!

Metropolol knocked my heart rate down to 35 beats a minute. Three months later a cardiologist put me on lisinopril; the heart rate went back to a more normal mid 60s. Between the two of them, it caused ED. Planning to ask my doc about losartan, it may help bring back happy hour.
Dr Pius Ozigbe is Always on time. compassionate. Empathetic. easy to take to and relates exceptionally well. Hands down the most effective and efficient doctor I recommend him. thank you doctor❤❤❤❤😮
Losartan seemed to wire me... almost like I was on caffeine without the coffee jitters. On top of that my hips would hurt while I was trying to sleep on my side. My doctor is switching me to amlodipine now. Will see how that goes.

How about Tozam Dr. what can you say about this drug? Thanks for answering my question Dr. This drug is what I am using for my maintenance for my high blood pressure.
@ThinkYourHealth
3 жыл бұрын
Tozam is also an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), it is similar to Losartan.
Having a heart condition I have been taking 150 mg of Losatan and 200 mg of metoprolol as well as50 mg of Spirix ( tradename Spiron) and 20 mg of Furosemid for almost 8 years I can tell that side effects can be better just by switching brand, not the actual medicatin it self. Just the coating of pills can make a difference and of course what is being used as " filler " to make the pills. never had high blood pressure. I really do not take medication well, gives me a lot of bad side effects but I manage to find a spot where medication helps and I still have a life worth living. You made a very good video about this Doc. Thanks.

I used to take both pills, but 6 month ago my blood pressure much improved due to more walking & healthy eating. Finally the doctor asked me cut off the Amiodipine, only one pill Losaartan.
you can eat potassium foods, a recent small study has proved theres no problem eating bananas etc...
I'm taking Losartan 100mg and Amlodipine 5mg. I have leaking valve, should I take any diuretics, like my cardiologist ordered to me ?
Been on it for 3 months,, two months I was ok but the last month I'm feeling down,, kinda depressed,, not much ambition,, will this go away over time.
