For High Blood Pressure "I tried this drug a second time, as my longtime Bisoprolol had suspected giving me joint pain, leg weakness, general apathy, fatigue, occasional heart palpitations, lack of sex drive. After six days, Losartan did improve my joints, strength, energy (to a degree) - now, however, I have fatigue from the insomnia it has given me. I only sleep four hours total a night, if lucky. Also, general dizziness that never totally goes away, and elevated pulse, which I forced to take a sliver of a Bisoprolol pill at night to lower and sleep. BP fluctuates between borderline hyper to good. Sadly, I'm just going to take the Bisoprolol once again, hope to get away with as low a dose as possible to avoid joint pain and lethargy. Losartan causing constant lightheaded/dizzy feeling and insomnia just too much to take."
