Stopped and BP got high. Took 1/2 tablet and found again extreme low BP. Dose changed to 1/4 tablet of 25 mg. Wow..I feel like I have been suffering from fatigue for last 2-3 ears. All fatigue and day sleeping

So far have seen moderate changes to my blood pressure. Had the amount I take increased recently. But very adaptable when it comes to taking throughout the day due to my work schedule I sometimes can take it first thing in the am.

I also started Atorvastatin for cholesterol at the same time. I am experiencing diarrhea and excessive burping as though my food is not digesting properly. I am also having a severe gout flare-up.

Comment:
I believe Losartan triggered trigeminal neuralgia. The pain was unbelievable - like having root canal work without Lignocaine. It happened within an hour of taking the first dose (quarter of usual dose taken as trial in view of previous side effects, ie 12.5mg -prescribed daily dose 50mg). It also made me feel generally unwell with fatigue.
