Now got shin and calf pain in left leg but leg cramps gone with supplement Diosmin. I do take a med for cholesterol so keeping watchful eye on leg circulation issue. Hope to ween off BP med. with mild daily exercise.

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!

Losartan works to lower my blood pressure, but I believe it makes me tired, sometimes very tired. I also think it intermittently causes E.D. at the higher dose my doctor has me taking, 100mg a day. I had successful quadruple bypass operation in 2017 and was first put on Metoprolol which was horrible, but as soon as I got off that, my cardiologist put me on this dose of Losartan.

It's not worth living like this. I see my doctor in a month and I hope there's an alternative.
