Definitely. caused by meds.as pounding heartbeat is more prominent about an hour after taking Candesartan. My hypertension is basically under control but it does get raised mostly at night.

 1  High BP This has been the worst seven months of my life. I have randomized pain. Severe muscle pain in neck, shoulders, arms. Not always the same or in the same place. Face turns very red, feet are cold and sweaty or hot and sweaty! Always feels cold though. One hand will turn ice cold the other one will be warm. Almost constant tinnitus. Horrible drug - Hands /arms will tingle for no reason, Had five trips to the ER within three months and everything was OK. I am now guessing it was acid reflux from the losartan potassium.

 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 will never take it again! M 69 3 days
25MG 1X day

 4  High BP At first it caused Stomach pain, then after a few weeks Pain stopped, also help with E D, but on the other hand it has cause loss of interest in Sex (Go Figure). But it is doing its job at lowering my B.P , which is now staying at a steady 124/55 , down from 160/70. I would like to add that when I first started taking Losartan it was made by a company in NY, then my Drug Store switched manufactures, and it didn't do a thing for my BP, I tried it for Week and my BP started to climb to the high numbers again, I talked to my Pharmacist and he ordered my old brand, and with in two days my BP was back to normal. M 64 10 months

 3  Blood pressure goes up after Avastin I think it could be causing headaches, nasal problems, extreme fatigue. As well as could be avastin infusions. Although I skipped taking lorsatin for 2 days and headaches seem better. Had a migraine one day and went with out the med. It's hard to know if this drug is the cause of my symptoms as avastin has symptoms as well. F 62 2 months
