Losartan

Lowering blood pressure with losartan, the generic form of Cozaar, works as well as more expensive and widely advertised drugs. Many people ultimately need several different drugs to optimize blood pressure control. Generally this is due to inadequate attention to diet and exercise. Success in treating high blood pressure requires a low salt diet, generous servings or fruit, vegetables and nuts with elimination of simple carbohydrates.

What if all 5 doctors including two cardiologists have tried every BP med and nothing works. I changed my diet and life style, best shape of my life. Lost over 120 pounds. No sugar, no carbs. My heart in great shape, kidneys great shape. But doctors kept pushing BP meds on me when it was only slightly elevated at the doctors office ( white coat and Central Apnea ) the more BP meds they put into my body, the higher the blood pressure went. Every medication made me sicker, some of the medications gave me chest pain, trouble breathing, passing out. Now losartan postassium has caused me to gain 120 pounds back. I now weigh 320 pounds, last year I weighed 200 pounds and muscular. The doctors and these medications have ruined my life.

Today i started Losartan 50mg..as my bp fluctuates from 150/ 84 /65 to 179/110/65 ...even 201/ 118/ 65 and so i finally asked for a medication as i am a singer entertainer and my breathing is out of whack when the bp is very high..my heart is of a 21 year old so my cardiologist told me 1 year ago and as im now 68 i need to sort my bp out, i dont drink booze 16 months, never smoked , i recently had a kidney stone lipotripsy right kidney 2 stones and ive heard that treatment can cause hypertension, i have left big kidney stone but it may be ok to leave well alone if its not in a bad position within my kidney..

[@D.M.47]

I was given Losartan. 100 mgs and woke up with violent shaking so fast with my heart pumping off the charts and it felt like every organ was pumping. When I stopped shaking, my BP was over 200. I had to have my daughter go with me in Uber to the clinic I had trouble walking I was diagnosed with papiltations. I had had an EKG prior to the Losartan prescription. My ekg read normal and notation they thought this was the heart of a 35 yr old person. I am 72.

[@etmax1]

I've had doctors trying to control my blood pressure for more than 20 years and losartan, amlodipine, perindopril, casartan and metoprolol all didn't help. It wasn't until I was on a diuretic that it came down except that I had a runaway heartrate until it was combined with bisoprolol. The others helped for for a few weeks but I ended up needing higher and higher doses with my BP always ending up in the 160/100 range. Now with diuretic/beta blocker combo (both low doses, ie 1/4 of the smallest available dose of the diuretic and 1/2 of the beta blocker) my BP is 115/70 now and has been for over a year.

[@KH-xi9td]

Mine doesn't come down. I really don't care anymore. Glad your doc found a way and is working for you.

[@etmax1]

@@KH-xi9td The biggest problem with controlling BP through medication is that it only works when the mechanism that is causing your BP to be up is actually understood. The BP rule book says give class A drug and if that doesn't work try class B and if that doesn't work..... Guesswork. Most people give up. I read a very complex paper some 20 years ago where researcher had designed a computer program that required a whole bunch of measurements to be taken and the program would then give the combination of drugs to use. I can't remember where I read it or what has become of it. There is one thing additional I did, I had a blocked artery in the rear of my hear that they bypassed and that (I think) might have been a contributing factor.

[@terryjames548]

The cure is the Keto diet. See Dr. Ken Berry on the KZbin. I did. I had hypertension, was Type 2 diabetic, and took these pills unnecessarily for most of my adult life. As it turns out, the cause of this health epidemic afflicting millions of Americans is the American Diet. I could not drop the weight and heal until I changed my diet. None of my civilian or VA doctors told me about the Keto diet. I had one Doctor tell me there was really no easy or healthy way to loose the weight. Chances are, your Doctor, like this guy, is not giving you the cure. They are good at explaining the meds, but will not tell you THE CURE. Why? Type 2 can be reversed (mine did) and Type 1 can be treated, but not cured to my knowledge.

@The Abby Brooke I'm so sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I hope you're feeling better. To answer your question, yes ,that's what he gave me but I'm so sensitive to medications, its crazy. Sometimes I think my doctor thinks I'm making it up. Losartan has made me so depressed I'm crying all the time like if someone died. I had other ones that made my head hurt so bad I couldn't function at all. I didn't even get out of bed for days. I saw the video on amlodipine, however , he said something interesting about how the meds don't work on a moderate level of hypertension or hypertension 1. And I believe that I'm just catching the side affects with no result to controlling my blood pressure.
