Took Lisinopril for high BP (150-160) but due to foot pain, dry cough and drippy nose, got off. Went on Losartan 50 mg: foot pain gone, still slight dry cough and drippy nose but 120-140/65-77 but sometimes goes lower to 115/60s, got dizzy, dr cut dosage to 25 mg; I dieted and lost 15 lbs, now weigh 150 and BP stays 130-140s and I feel good there so take every other day. Now got shin and calf pain

Comment:
I'm taking 50 mg Losarten 3 years then he incresed to 100 I took it for 1 week BP came down to normal but the side effects of tiredness and dizzyness were too much. I went back down to the 50mg. Went on KETO diet and exersized, already loosing weight. I also ordered StrictionVP and will try this and ween off the Losarten. Taking this drug is like taking 1 step forward and 2 back!
