Hello, I’m on Losartan 100, have been taking it for more than a year now so can’t remember if I had side effects. Good that the stomach pain has gone but I think you should tell your Dr about feeling fatigued and a bit dizzy. Is your BP checked regularly? It could be that the medication is a little too strong for you so I would advise getting your BP checked to ensure you’re in the right dose. I use a BP monitor at home which is very useful, the Omron which doctors often use aren’t too expensive. I hope things work well for you, good luck. (It took some time for me to be on the right meds) xxx

Hi there, yes BP is 121/67 so deemed ok. This is the third lot of different meds to try and solve BP issues. Thank you for replying though, it seems everyone is different. I'll maybe give it a while more then chat to go. Thanks again.

Hello again. That’s a good BP reading although diastolic of 67 would possibly cause me to feel a bit dizzy. As you say everyone is different & it’s so hard to get it right. It did take a very long time to find meds that suited me, I was a bit of a nightmare :-) See how it goes and do update when you can. Take care, best wishes, Val x
