Ive been prescribed Losartan for High Blood Pressure. My blood pressure was on average 140/90,which I think is borderline. I was on 25mg daily,which didn't help. So my GP upped the dose to 50mg. Starting to get worse side effects(been on Losartan for only 2 months. Will the side effects slowly go over a period of time?. Thinking of not taking medication and increasing exercise and changing diet for a month to see what difference this makes. Any advice please?
HI,
Thanks everyone. To Brinjal, the main side effects are pains in arms and legs and nasel congestion. Think im not giving them enough time and need to be patient. Would like to know if anyone else has had nasel congestion whilst on Losartan,sometimes this affects my taste and smell
A friend of mine was on Losartan, her side effects were swollen lips and one side of face, after about a month of this her doctor changed them, put her on another BP pill and she was ok after that,

A not uncommon side efvfect of Losartan........I would go back to your doctor as other BP lowering tablets are available and possibly without side effects.
