For High Blood Pressure "I had a heart attack and 3 stents put in around the fall of 2013. I had managed pretty well on Corgard 40mg. I also have rare episodes of supraventricular tachycardia in which the heart pulse goes as high as 250 beats a minute, with skips. Had to have my heart stopped and revived to reset it last time. The last 9 months I've been having to triple my Corgard, feel heartbeats strong, out of sync, palpitations. Last checkup doctor measured 162/100, even after doubling Corgard. She put me on Losartan and for over one week, I don't feel my heart pounding, my BP averages 110/73 taken 3 different times a day, no skips, feel 30 years younger on the lowest dosage 25mg. It seems that depending on a certain enzyme one's body produces, this medicine either works great, or not at all from my studies. I don't live in fear anymore, and have more energy not taking Corgard which makes you fatigue."

For High Blood Pressure "I took Cozaar 50mg drug for one week and yes, it was very effective in lowering my blood pressure to normal. However, it gave me terrible insomnia, so if I got two hours of sleep a night, I was lucky. It also upset my stomach and gave my heart a big 'thump' every now and then. My vision also became fuzzy."

For High Blood Pressure "This medication nearly killed me after 9 days of taking it. It sent me into AFIB, blood pressure dropped so low it nearly stopped. Hate this drug. If anyone has any side effects with this, go to your doctor straight away. Never felt so ill. Within 24 hours of me stopping this drug, I was back to my normal self. Please do not just stop taking medication. I have been put back on ramipril and I feel fine."

For High Blood Pressure "25 mg of Losartan hydrochlorothiazide cured high blood pressure within a week. But lethargy is a definite side effect. The worst side effect is irregular heartbeat. My blood pressure monitor and my Fitbit disagree on heart rate by about 20 bpm. My Fitbit no longer provides sleep quality feedback, can't get consistent heart rate feedback. I had to discontinue the medication four days ago. The side effects have not improved yet. The blood pressure is still low, 115/60. Note: I started with high blood pressure 160/80 and a low pulse, not because I'm an athlete. Pulse still low. I guess."
