My husband is taking Losartan since last 50 days and his protein and blood content in urine is 2+ now, is it a side effect? and his BP still fluctuating. How much time it may take to cure? is there any additional things to get manage during this medication period like dietary management and exercise?

There is no actual cure for hypertension, it is a condition that can only be managed through the use of medications, such as the Losartan, as well as dietary and lifestyle modifications.

As to blood pressure, however, it will always fluctuate, no one ever has steady numbers all the time. It will change throughout the day, depending on your activity levels, when you've eaten, how much liquids you've drank, if you've had any caffeine and etc.

He may require this medication, or others for the rest of his life to help keep it under control.

But yes, there are other things he can do to help lower his blood pressure, which may reduce the need for medications.

Getting lots of proper exercise is very important to the health of one's cardiovascular system.

He can also make sure that he maintains a healthy diet, that's low in salt and fats. As a matter of fact, for the best results, he should try to take in only 2,000mgs or less of sodium each day.

Are there any other questions I can help with?
