Can Losartan Cause High Pulse Rate?
Can losartan cause a high pulse rate? This is a new medication for my high blood pressure, 100 mg. My blood pressure is much better on this, however my pulse rate is elevated to a little over 100 resting. I m actually aware of my heart beating, which worries me.

Hi,
Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure and other conditions. Its common side effects include low blood pressure, increased blood potassium and sometime dry cough. It is not known to cause high pulse rate which could be due to other causes for which you are advised to consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
