Losartan side effects?

I have been on Losartan 25mg for 8 weeks now. I've always had some side effect with it but not too bothersome. Today I feel stripped of of energy, had a headache but went away without Tylenol and felt weak all over. There was one time I felt dizzy. Has anyone felt like this taking Losartan? And whats the best thing to do for side effects?

I have been on Losartan for over a month and had not had any side effects. My BP is still high though. I called my dr and he said to keep taking it for another month before seeing him. I am worried that my bp is so high still.

Hi, never been on Losartan but again the doc's are just going to keep giving you different Meds. Have you guys thought about trying to get off of the meds period? That is my goal and My hope to those who want too. I don't know what each of your issues are for HBP such as weight or too much salt, but mine is weight. All I have to do is get under 200lbs then I'm good. If it is weight of for you guys try Hot Yoga it works. You will sweat that salt out of your body as well as the fat off your body. You just have to stick with it. It feels so good when you are done. it is a lot of pain but you gain.

I think it's dangerous advice to tell people to go off their blood pressure medication.

You might want to check your blood pressure to ensure it's not too low.

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...
