s, kidney scans and urine samples, so I was put on 50 mg of Losartan- atid a day, got a machine for the upper arm and everything has been normal since then (I measure everyday). My mother has had hypertension for about 10 years now, but her measurements weren't as high and she gets it from being obese.
t know this doctor very well as mine has retired, and he is aware of my medical history obviously, and my struggle with weight loss as well as my attempt to keep my diet as healthy as I can (despite occasionally messing up from time to time due to lethargy, stress from work and genuine hunger...)
Can I trust that my blood pressure won't skyrocket???
com/sfx/losartan-side-effects.html Uncommonly, ear congestion and hearing loss occur. But you are describing hypersensitivity. Losartan is associated for some with tremor. I would wonder if the sound issue is not related to a bit of anxiety. I'm not really seeing anything in the literature to support what you describe with retards to sound being louder but sensory experiences can be affected whenever our nervous system is not regulated.
I am on 20mg of
My hair has been thinning and I'm on the same dose of losartan. Wonder if that's why?
Losartan also may cause a persistent cough, increase serum potassium, impotence, and angioedema. Losartan may reduce kidney function in some patients and should not be used by patients who have bilateral renal artery stenosis (narrowing of both arteries going to the kidneys). Rare cases of rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) have been reported.
Before the Losartan, I was taking 90 mgs of Armour (which is T3 AND T4) daily. After just a few weeks on the Losartan, I became hyperthyroid for a while, and my doctor lowered my dose of Armour (down to 60.)
I have not noticed heat intolerance, but I am losing weight--slowly (which I don't mind as I am about 20 lbs over bikini-wearing level.)
Never heard of the Marshall protocol, but I'm going to look it up!
There was another study comparing muscular hypertrophy when doing low-rep, heavy-weight lifting vs. doing high-rep, light-weight lifting, and the surprise was that the high-rep, light-weights (to muscle exhaustion) actually produced better results than the heavy lifts. This goes contrary to conventional gym wisdom, but hey, it's what the study said.
From there he developed aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation, and his aorta began to dilate. He started taking losartan to help keep his aorta from enlarging anymore. We took him back for a check up and his cardiologist told us what my son has is rare and mainly seen in Marfan syndrome. His ascending aorta is a 2.9, at what point would surgery need to be done? He is 51 pounds. He also goes for a second opinion at Vanderbilt on May 12.
Hi there. I am a female, 19 years old, otherwise in good health and weight. My electrophysiologist recently put me on a beta blocker (Metoprolol) 25 mg twice a day for hypertension and a ton of other symptoms he said must be due to Neurocardiogenic Syncope. I was diagnosed with asthma a couple years ago and it seems as if the beta blocker is causing shortness of breath and a feeling that seems similar to how I feel after exercising, a sort of chest tightness I would say.
my primary doctor even had me join a program through his office that was supposed to be super duper - weight loss guaranteed... Uh huh...
After struggling all these years, I'm very proud to say that I've recently managed to lose 20 lbs and I didn't have any surgery like liposuction or anything else.
The very first thing you have to do is make sure your thyroid hormones are adequate and by adequate, I don't mean, simply "in range"...
I fought it. Oh, how I fought it. I eventually went on Losartan. My blood pressure went straight down and I actually without trying had weight come off (the same hormone that causes the blood pressure issues hangs onto weight, so inhibiting it affected both my doctor told me). Anyway, weight management is the only thing that impacted my bp (along with, I should say, cardio exercise to exercise my heart. That also took some time but has a positive effect).
Hi I'm 22 yrs old, active about 225lbs 6'3 and I was wondering I've had high Bp ranging from upper 130's to 140's or sometimes 150's systolic my diastolic ranges from 70's to 85...I was wondering if heart ratehas anything to do with my high Bp..my rest hr is around 60's or 50's...does this have anything to do with higher blood pressure? Am I at risk more with a lower heart rate I'm on Bp meds losartan 50 mg...
Hi I'm 22 yrs old, male, 6'2 normal weight and I have been experience random muscle spasms all over my body at different times. Some are very small twitches others are a little more intense I can see my skin move.
I have high blood pressure I'm taking meds for now (losartan/hctz) highest dose. I eat a banana a day and also usually two servings of wheat bread and plenty of water so I don't think magnesium is the case here. I'm wondering if I should be worried?
I take a low dose of losartan. And immediately my blood pressure lowered. And I had a bonus of some weight loss. And I felt much better. I didn't even realize I didn't feel good because of my blood pressure being borderline or high (fluctuating between these two) until it was lowered through medication. Sincerely, heart attacks aren't like little things you describe. So, and now you have anxiety about this. Treat the blood pressure. How? First, make sure your lifestyle is in order.
