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 | Horrible drug ,first the headaches then one day after work heart started Racing..135 with slightly moving.
