It has lowered my BP but not sure how much of this anxiety I can take. I've never dealt with this before. Also having some issues with short term memory and fuzziness. Makes it harder to do my job. | F | 47 | 9 months 50 mg 1X day | 9/23/2015 | 2 | Hypertension | When doctor incresed me from 25 to 50 mg after 2 weeks and no results, I did not see any significant side effects. Now for the past 2 days he has increased me to 100 mg. I have no improvement in my bp. Runs 120's to 140's systolic and 90's diastolic. Since the increase to 100mg, I seem to ache all over. I do feel like I can get a deeper breath, but the aches are terrible. | F | 52 | 4 weeks 100MG 1X day | 9/10/2015 | 1 | high blood pressure | Extreme tiredness,very weak,fever,light headed constantly urinating I can barely stand,joints ache shortness of breath,to some it up this is not for me,I stopped taking it two days I felt better that's how I know it's the medicine.. | bad medicine | F | 32 | 3 weeks 25mg | 8/19/2015 | 1 | Bp | Anxiety,chest pain, vision problems | well my Fifth BP medicine and my last, I just decided this poison is not for me. I have had the worst 3 weeks on this stuff. I'm going the Holistic route. So other people have done it so can I, my Bp is 160/90 this medication makes it rise. I will return to meds if I can't achieve my BP goal by holistic means in a year. Diet and weight loss are the key. People who say that they have no side effects from this drug don't know their body IMHO. Your body wants to be healthy, this stuff is just a bandaid for your health problem. You can cure yourself and be better for it👍🏼 | M | 60 | 6 weeks 50 | 8/13/2015 | 2 | HYpertension | Fatigue, weight gain, itchy rash, makes me want to sleep all day. | Doesn't really decrease bp | F | 62 | 1 days 50/12 | 7/1/2015 | 3 | High blood pressure | Tiny cough that lasted a week. | No really bad side effects. Mild cough. | F | 50 | 3 days 50mg 1X day | 6/28/2015 | 1 | High BP | Heavy blood in stool and urine, swollen & stinging, burning in my eyes, blurred vision, loss of concentration, dizzy, back & side pain, confusion, entire body swollen, headaches, lethargic, itching, bug like feelings, too low blood pressure. It felt like I was poisoned. | When will these feelings go away after I stopped. 2 days off now. I told the Dr. about the bleeding and very low BP & she said to take it at night instead of the morning. My cardiologist said to stop it completely. | F | 62 | 5 days 50 | 6/7/2015 | 4 | hypertension | Used cozaar 15+ yrs, good control, no bad effects. Then Bam! Drs. Want to take me off of it. Had recent high potassium levels. First thing they want to do is TRY everything. I am skeptical to say the least. | F | 68 | 1 days 100 | 2/25/2015 | 2 | Hypertension | Within 3 days experienced significant muscle soreness after exercise. This was new to me. Fatigue and continued muscle aches and joint pains. Seem more depressed and very fatigued. Stopped taking it and after a week the aches and pains are 50% better and mood and energy returning. | This worked very well for my mild hypertension, but cannot tolerate the side effects | F | 52 | 90 days 50 mg 1X day | 2/11/2015 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | Malaise, possibly depression, down, low energy. Might be from varicocele, but also strange pain in tip of penis. Abdominal ache on lower left side, sometimes headache. | I've been on this for three weeks, after having a horrible experience with Lisinopril. I had been taking Lisinopril for a year at 7.5mg/day, but two months ago, my doctor said up it to 10mg. Within three days, I had horrible jitters and muscle aches, and was super down, debilitated, painful urination (was tested for everything, everything negative, and normal). I requested to be switched to losartan. Felt awesome for the ten days after lisinopril. Jitters faded. Felt good. But at about 12 days on losartan, and I started feeling varicocele pain, low energy, depression, abdominal pain, and a weird burning when urinating. I cut pills to half for a couple days and felt a little better. I just can't tell if these are side effects, or part of my varicocele pain. Keeps BP in control, but last only exactly 24 hours in my system. It's been a rough few months. The best thing about losartan is the ability to achieve an erection with no problem. I had problems on lisinopril, and didn't realize how bad it was until I got on losartan, and it's better quality than it ever was with viagra - and it's all me. That in itself makes me want to push on and try to overcome any possible side effects. | M | 47 | 21 days 25mg 1X day | 2/5/2015 | 1 | hypertension | Headache, chronic, occasional dizziness | F | 62 | 25 mg 1X day | 1/19/2015 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Chest tightness. Extreme coughing. Electrical charges on feed and hands. Itching. Arrhythmia a couple hours after taking it...lasted for only a couple of hours. | Losartan never brought my blood pressure down. Doctor didn't know the side effects of this drug....had to educate him about it. Doc did an EKG on me....said I was having a heart attack. Went to hospital. Their EKG and blood work didn't show heart attack. Doctor in ER said Losartan causing cough and chest pain. Requested from my doctor to take me off Losartan. Increased my Bystolic to 10mg. BP came down. | M | 62 | 3 months 100 Mg 1X day | 1/8/2015 |
