16467414 tn?1448304929 Did your doctor mention to avoid high levels of potassium while taking Losartan? Too much potassium is called Hyperkalemia and it can be extremely deadly if not treated. I am trying to come off Atenolol after 7 years and a few weeks ago a doctor put me on Losartan Potassium and did not tell me that though I asked if I should avoid anything. I found out what Hyperkalemia does to you the hard way. It can kill you if levels are very high, almost did me in!
Avatar f tn the doctor switched me to Losartan 50 qd. I am going to change on Monday to Losartan and am nervous about what will happen. any thoughts on this??
Avatar m tn I was on losartan for a few months. I don't think that my bp was consistenlty high. I think what was going on was that it was very up and down and it was making me feel pretty bad. But losartan which is a third line for bp was the first thing that they put me on. And I don't think my bp was that bad. I have had elevated renin/aldosterone studies and low potassium in the past.
Avatar f tn Am I being too restrictive of sodium and potassium intake? What do you mean? Cramping can be caused by dehydration and an imbalance of sodium and potassium blood levels. Diuretics can can cause this. Many diuretics decrease potassium in the blood. This can lead to low potassium levels in your blood. There are "potassium-sparing" diuretics that don't cause this problem.
Avatar n tn I do not want to take a bp med, i read that potassium bicarbonat, and bananas, are just as beneifical as taking Losartan ,I know it sounds silly, but I just do not want to take any more meds. I have been doing fine for 5 years after stents, take fish oil capsules, magnesium and vitamin d, recently started 5 htp, don't all these help to keep my arteries from blocking anymore?also take other supplements like co-q 10, b complex.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn I am currently on Lisinopril to keep my BP down (I have Cardiomyopathy after going into CHF from a virus that went to my heart). I have had a cough which is a side effect of Lisinopril. My doctor just gave me a RX for Losartan but this med is more expensive by quite a bit. I haven't had any other problems with Lisinopril besides the cough and I am scared to change meds and take the chance of worse side effects.
Avatar m tn Blood pressure is 180 mmHg (high pressure) / 100 mmHg(low pressure). The doctor gave Losartan Potassium and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets. The blood pressure is then controlled to 107~135 mmHg(high pressure) / 65~80 mmHg(low pressure). In 2015: My mother suddenly felt dizzy and she was found that her blood pressure jumped to 80~90 mmHg(high pressure) / 50 mmHg(low pressure). Then the doctor asked her to stop taking any blood pressure control medicine. Her heart is examined OK.
Avatar f tn Losartan blood pressure supplements comtains ingredients of losartan potassium. It commonly includes side effects like high blood ressure. dizziness, breathing difficulty, asthama. Try to consult other doctor if possible.
Avatar m tn Dear Doctor, Thanks for your valuable reply. I'm taking blood pressure med in 2 times ( Losartan Potassium, Amlodipine). milk thistle can bad Interaction with these medicine pls?
Avatar m tn Sometimes raised bp causes the lvh. Also is it 3 meds you take? Losartan, Hctz (A diuretic) and Spiro (a Diuretic, Potassium sparing type). Revisit things with the cardio till you are happy. They probably consider 150 ish as not too bad for systolic. But the next thing will be double the dose of some of the meds!! Also did you get tested for secondary causes of bp? eg Pheo or Conns syndrome? worth a few tests just in case. both could be sorted.
Avatar f tn Take 25 metropolol (been on it since 2012) and 25 losartan (started in April 17). High blood pressure but often have lower readings when calm and not in a doctors office. Recent CRP test was 4 which is high risk for heart attack. Recent Potassium level is fine. Recent FSH is elevated indicating possible menopause. Recent symptoms - always tired, long lasting headaches that come and go. some night sweats (my body feels like its giving off heat- with chest tightness but not often.
Avatar m tn Unfortunately the HCV was not eliminated and when I ran across an article that indicated that losartan(Cozaar) a blood pressure medicine may reduce or eliminate fibrosis I asked my doctor to change on of my blood pressure medicines to it which he did, coincidently on that visit he detected some fibrosis by feeling the stiffness of my liver. The hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are activated into myofibroblast-like cells that produce the fibrosis by angiotensin II.
Avatar m tn s on antihypertensive (amlodepine) and low dose hydrochlorthiazide. Her BUN, creatinine, SGOT, SGPT, sodium and potassium were taken and they were all normal, thus she was started with aldactone 2 weeks ago. Repeat blood exams were taken (for some reason sodium and potassium were not included) - this time BUN is 10.3 mmol/L (ref value - 2.5 to 6.5); creatinine was 1.3 mg/dl (ref value - 0.7 to 1.5). This reading shows a markedly elevated BUN and a normal creatinine.
Avatar m tn Thank you. My electrolytes are ok. I am taking losartan with amlodine.
Avatar m tn I take it you are not diabetic, your medication can raise glucose levels in the blood. It also affects the level of potassium in your blood which can affect heart function.
Avatar n tn For at least 3 years I have been taking a 25mg Losartan potassium tablet and a 40mg Furosemide tablet every morning. I went to a new chemist this morning and he said I should never take the 2 tablets together as they will cause low blood pressure. I went to the doctors last year for a check up and complained of low blood pressure ( I took a list of my last 20 readings) but was told it is nothing to worry about!.
Avatar m tn ve done a heart echo, EKG, head MRI, stress test, and kidney renal. I have currently had to up my dosage to 100mg losartan/hctz 25mg. Resting Bp is 135/80 on average. Could I possibly have an adrenal gland tumor? I've not been tested for it. I have hypertension, my body's felt real anxious every since, I get heart papitations sometimes, I also have a low stamina which are all things I didn't experience before. Would one of the tests I've had done rule out a adrenal tumor gland?
Avatar m tn When I take Tylenol or Advil the pain goes away for 7-8 hours. I have controlled high blood pressure and taking Losartan Potassium, Metoprolol and Crestor as medications. (Age 45). Please advise.
Avatar f tn Hallo there -anyone and everyone. Is there any reasons to prefer or take losartan above olmesartan or the olmesartan above losartan. Person taking these is african, 57 years, female and oh, my mother.
Avatar m tn //www.drugs.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.
