Yes I had the same response to Losartan. That's one of the major side effects. Report it to your doctor. Mine put me back on Lisinopril.

I used both liprinosil gave me the cough Losartan caused sever pain like debilitating pain in my hip joints suffered for a year before I went out of town and forgot my pills 100mg losartan, I put two and two together and quit taking the losartan. Well with the scientific mind that I have I did a little experiment. Waited a week and took half of one of my pills . Within an hour the pain was back with a vengeance.

My nephrologist prescribed lisinopril. Although I was already on Losarten prescribed by my cardiologist. I soon developed a cough that I could not shake with lisinopril Even with cough drops. It also effected by singing voice which rendered it useless. Went back to Losarten

My doctor changed my bp med from Lisinopril 20 mg to Losartan 25 mg. After 2 months of headaches, ringing in my ears and my bp slowly climbing I went back to my doctor and he said that I need it to control my stress level and within a week I ended up in the ER with 200/109 blood pressure reading.

I was on Lisinopril for 9 years. I'm a type 1 diabetic with high bp. I had hair loss especially when the doc add 25mg water pill to it. I was switch a year later to 25mg Losartan. All these docs tell every patient they protect your kidneys. I think they just tell us that. My bp is still 136/74 at the lowest but spikes high throughout my work day. I'm going to ask about Carvedilol because it helps lower bp by blocking B1, B2, and A1 receptors..and helps balance the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system of which apparently is out of balance with diabetics from a research journal i found...i need better homeostasis in my body with hair loss and other issues without being doped up on meds. Thanks for replies and answers from anybody. Correct me please if im wrong about something. I want to learn more and help others.

The statement about being allergic after having been on lisinopril HCTZ for a while is true. I have taken lisinopril HCTZ for roughly 27 years but wound up with severe (almost burn like ) rash on my face that I had to have a steroid shot for. The doctor changed me to Losarten.... I guess we'll see how that works.

I took Lisinopryl for several years, then suddenly one day had a reaction. Fave began swelling. Went to Urgent Care; for shot & pills. It eventually stopped swelling but did not go down. Ended up in Emergency Room that night on I've until swelling went down. Lucky throat & tongue didn't swell.

Did you ever switch to taking the Losartin at night? I also take Trazadone to sleep. The Losartin is making me really really dizzy and I need to figure out if taking it at night might help. Thanks.
