Hello, Jerrie! How are you?

If your blood pressure is remaining at a normal level, then it seems there most likely isn't anything to worry about.

Most blood pressure medication changes can be done swiftly and easily, just going from one to the other.

The Losartan may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.

Is there anything else I can help with?
