Hi, you don’t say what your blood pressure is whilst taking Losartan? I am on 50mg of Losartan ( and other drugs) 115/65 bp. I swapped from Ramipril due to an intolerance years ago. If your bp is good and your tests all come back fine, it’s better to take the higher amount and keep your blood pressure down ❤️.

You don’t say how active you are but I find that even regular walking and a good nights sleep helps bring it ( & heart rate) down. I was amazed the difference in my stats after two disturbed nights.
