| 1 | Hypertension | My legs ached to the bone my hips and lower back ached. My doctor first said I wasn't eating enough protein ! Only after reading other people had lower back pain did I suggest it was this medicine. | She is changing it now but I don't know how long before the aches stop | F | 64 | 4 months 100 mg 1X day | 6/9/2021 | 1 | Bp | Extremely tired all day.

Felt nervous, shakes, and hypertensive in my arms. Felt better an hour after taking it.

Extreme dizziness, tachycardia, confusion, insomnia, loss of appetite, burning sensation from my lady parts up through my chest, extreme chest pain, SOB.

Please email me. I have been to one of the biggest medical centers in the south and all my tests (heart,CT, bloodwork) came back beautiful. | F | 41 | 21 days 50mg 1X day | 11/28/2020 | 1 | hypertension | Total insomnia, extreme drowsiness (yes, both at the same time!), coughing, burning sensation in the chest, very low heart rate. | Even when taken in the morning after good night's sleep and strong coffee, this drug causes me to feel extremely drowsy within an hour, but IRONICALLY it gives me 100% INSOMNIA at the same time! Maddening - it makes me terribly sleepy but totally unable to fall asleep!!! Also it causes coughing and burning sensation in chest. Only moderately lowers BP but it makes my heart rate drop by about 10 bpm.

I must stop this meds immediately to recover my health to normal before it's too late. Replace it by removing salt to Zero in diet to recover my health from severely crippling my health physically and mentally due to the side effects and enjoy my life by replacing with natural healthy diet I.e green smothie, made of parsley, cucumber, apples, celery and collard. Freshly squeezed grape fruit, lemon, raw honey, apple cider vinegar. And GOLDEN DRINK. made with Tumuric, powder cinnamon, dry ginger & black pepper. Mix all the above in warm milk and have it as hot drink 2hrs prior to going bed. Have a pint of warm H2O before going bed. It worthed as it removes your wrinkles cos your body is looked after with this home made medicine. Don't forget daily walks and a dancing aerobics in front of the mirror twice AM & PM before going bed. Happy Health Happy body. | F | 59 | 1 months 1X day | 10/12/2020 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | I was on Atenolol 75 mg. Doctor changed me to Losartan.

Woke up out of sleep with HR of 165 SOB and terrible anxiety which I never had before. 3 ER trips, GI doctor due to horrible GERD exacerbation. Felt like I was dying.

Oh, yeah, and it RAISES my blood pressure. | I used to take Lisinopril. Worked great. Until the cough developed. Awful, so the dr switched me to Amlodipine. Well, wonders never cease, didn't really work, so they upped the dosage, which caused me to retain water like never before, couldn't put on socks, let alone shoes. So then they added Metoprolol and HCT. Still no decrease in my BP, and 3 pills...no thanks. Changed dr's and was started on Losartan. No real side effects at first, but also, no real change in my BP. She increased the dosage. Now I start noticing the side effects, but wasn't really attributing them to the blood pressure medication, like who would? Still no real change in my BP, if anything, it was increasing. Dr added carvedilol. A very slight change in BP. Covid happened, and my autoship meds were delayed, didn't have Losartan for 3 weeks. ALL of the side effects went away. Only taking the carvedilol and WOW! My BP is awesome now. In fact, I don't think it has ever been this good. Oh yeah, finally got the poison and it still sits in the package. Not taking this again. | F | 51 | 1 years 50 mg 2X day | 8/7/2020 | 1 | High Blood pressure | Nausea, anxiety/jittery, lack of concentration | F | 61 | 5 years 12.5 1X day | 7/23/2020 |
