  • Lowering blood pressure with losartan, the generic form of Cozaar, works as well as more expensive and widely advertised drugs. Many people ultimately need several different drugs to optimize blood pressure control. Generally this is due to inadequate attention to diet and exercise. Success in treating high blood pressure requires a low salt diet, generous servings or fruit, vegetables and nuts with elimination of simple carbohydrates.

    What if all 5 doctors including two cardiologists have tried every BP med and nothing works. I changed my diet and life style, best shape of my life. Lost over 120 pounds. No sugar, no carbs. My heart in great shape, kidneys great shape. But doctors kept pushing BP meds on me when it was only slightly elevated at the doctors office ( white coat and Central Apnea ) the more BP meds they put into my body, the higher the blood pressure went. Every medication made me sicker, some of the medications gave me chest pain, trouble breathing, passing out. Now losartan postassium has caused me to gain 120 pounds back. I now weigh 320 pounds, last year I weighed 200 pounds and muscular. The doctors and these medications have ruined my life.

    I was given Losartan. 100 mgs and woke up with violent shaking so fast with my heart pumping off the charts and it felt like every organ was pumping.
    When I stopped shaking, my BP was over 200. I had to have my daughter go with me in Uber to the clinic
    I had trouble walking
    I was diagnosed with papiltations. I had had an EKG prior to the Losartan prescription. My ekg read normal and notation they thought this was the heart of a 35 yr old person. I am 72.

    I've had doctors trying to control my blood pressure for more than 20 years and losartan, amlodipine, perindopril, casartan and metoprolol all didn't help. It wasn't until I was on a diuretic that it came down except that I had a runaway heartrate until it was combined with bisoprolol.
    The others helped for for a few weeks but I ended up needing higher and higher doses with my BP always ending up in the 160/100 range.
    Now with diuretic/beta blocker combo (both low doses, ie 1/4 of the smallest available dose of the diuretic and 1/2 of the beta blocker) my BP is 115/70 now and has been for over a year.

      @etmax1 2 роки тому +1

      @@KH-xi9td The biggest problem with controlling BP through medication is that it only works when the mechanism that is causing your BP to be up is actually understood. The BP rule book says give class A drug and if that doesn't work try class B and if that doesn't work..... Guesswork. Most people give up. I read a very complex paper some 20 years ago where researcher had designed a computer program that required a whole bunch of measurements to be taken and the program would then give the combination of drugs to use. I can't remember where I read it or what has become of it. There is one thing additional I did, I had a blocked artery in the rear of my hear that they bypassed and that (I think) might have been a contributing factor.

    The cure is the Keto diet. See Dr. Ken Berry on the UA-cam. I did. I had hypertension, was Type 2 diabetic, and took these pills unnecessarily for most of my adult life. As it turns out, the cause of this health epidemic afflicting millions of Americans is the American Diet. I could not drop the weight and heal until I changed my diet. None of my civilian or VA doctors told me about the Keto diet. I had one Doctor tell me there was really no easy or healthy way to loose the weight. Chances are, your Doctor, like this guy, is not giving you the cure. They are good at explaining the meds, but will not tell you THE CURE. Why? Type 2 can be reversed (mine did) and Type 1 can be treated, but not cured to my knowledge.
