[Pennylane57]

Hi I’m on losartin 25mg for about 6 weeks and I’m getting missed heart beats and a feeling of anxiety well I think it is never had it befor I’ve spoken to my doctor and a chemist both are saying that lasartan do not cause that ? Has anyone else had the same one this tablet?

I’m getting missed heart beats and there getting worse I had a 24 hour heart monitor on a few weeks ago but they said it was normal but since then there worse I get them every day some times I miss 2 beats and that makes me feel quite ill I feel light headed breathless and get chest pressure I had some more bloods done the other day and my doctor going to ring me on Monday I also went to a&e two weeks ago because I felt so ill but didn’t see anything ons the ecg so told me to go back to my doctor and sent me home I’m getting so sick of being sick.

[peter999999999]

if its fine at home i would not take pills

[Pennylane57 in reply to peter999999999]

No I do think I need them because before I took them it was very high but now only high at the doctors every time I see that blood pressure monitor I can feel myself getting nervous 😟

Hi. I was given ramipril and was very ill, angioedema- swelling etc. My BP like yours goes up at the Drs but I get some much lower readings at home. I said no to any more bp tablets. I agree with Peter, see how you are without them. I get v anxious at the Drs and it sets up a cycle that's hard to break. If you can check it at home and it's OK then trust your own judgement. The missed beats may well be anxiety. I get that too. Take care.

[Pennylane57 in reply to Lulu2607]

Thank you for reply I do think I need them it’s just it gets higher at the doctors and at hospital and I know why after I had my last child my blood pressure was so high they wouldn’t let me home until it went down so every time that blood pressure thing come round I panicked so it went up iv been on altanol for 20 years now with no problems it’s this new tablet larsartin I’m having problems with.

I had a different, and doc thinks unusual side effect from Losartan. I had asked to come off Lisinopril because of the cough side effect which turned out to be allergies. So went on Losartan which actually raised my blood pressure! At first I thought I was nuts, but my BP was consistently higher. I went back to a very low dose of Lisinopril and have been fine. I agree with you about the anxiety when the drs office takes my pressure; happens to me every time. I hope you get your problem sorted out soon

Thank you for replying I’ve had bloods done today to see if it’s my thyroid but I still think is the losertan ?

[Bostonterrierlover in reply to Pennylane57]

The problem is that all these drugs have side effects. They have their purpose, but a drug doesn't always react the same way with everybody. We're all unique. It's good you've had the bloodwork to check other things out.

[Pennylane57 in reply to Bostonterrierlover]

Yes just hope I don’t have to wait too long for the results I waited over 6 weeks for a 24 hour heart monitor then nearly 3 weeks for results.

[Raclette in reply to Pennylane57]

Interesting let us know the result please ty

[Bostonterrierlover]

I'm in the US so haven't had to wait that long, but the cost of insurance is sky high. Six of one half a dozen of tother as my mom used to say

[Pennylane57 in reply to Bostonterrierlover]

Yes exactly 😊

Hi pennylane57,

I have been on losartan 100mg for nearly 2 years (as well as several other heart medications) and have not had any significant side effects with it. Other BP meds caused other issues ramipril = persistent cough, amlodipine = swollen feet and ankles, indapimide = severe drop in potassium and phosphates. These are the effects i had but not everyone does, a friend of mine has been on ramipril for years with no side effects, so not everyone has the same reactions to a particular medication, it is just a case of finding the ones that suit you and your condition

[Pennylane57 in reply to Bassman65]

Thank you for your reply I know everyone is different I’ve been on atenolol for around 20 years and the only thing i found with that is cold feet but all this other stuff started when I started Losartan but my doctor is sending me to a cardiologist now so we’re see ?

I am on 25mgs of losartan and 12.5mgs of HCTZ. I get palpitations at times too. Most of the time it's because I am not drinking enough water.

[Pennylane57 in reply to Sacquit]

Thank you for reply I’m not getting the little ones so much now what I mean by that is the ones that you can feel in your throat it’s the ones that makes my chest feel heavy then I get light headed and feel I can’t breathe but only for a few seconds but after I feel quite unwell I got a appointment with a cardiologist in December but it’s only a phone consultation so I don’t know how that works?
