I am taking 50mg of Losartan Potassium and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg a 2 in 1 pill I am noticing I have minor chest spasms aches and pains on and off throughout my chest area and arms at times. I have had 14 different blood work test, x-ray, ct scan of the heart etc, but the test come back I am ok with very little plaque buildup in my arteries, I am at a loss for words, and have no idea what is causing these minor spasms now, the hospital says its normal when you take blood pressure medication and my doctor says all you need is potassium and it will go away. nothing is working does any one have any ideas or suggestions here please comment below.

Thank you & God Bless,

Eric

On this forum we’re all non-professionals so I think it impossible for us to remark on doctors’ conclusions especially as we don’t know your family history, past medical issues, lifestyle and so on. I think I’d mentioned chatting to a pharmacist about this -:in the UK this would be part of their job but probably where you live it’s different. Maybe a good charity specialising in cardiovascular issues such as Blood Pressure UK or British Heart Foundation could help,- is there not a charity in the US dealing with cardiac issues?

I'm sorry, was just asking if anyone else was experiencing or having the same issues here is all, I have spoke to all of my doctors and all I get is the run around now, I guess its time to switch doctors then. Thank you
