Does Losartan Cause Pain And Swelling In The Ankles Along With Confusion?
I have been on losortan for years. Of late maybe more than a year. I am not sure I have pain in my ankles, legs and swelling . I feel sleepy so I take the medicine at night. I am grossly over weight. 300 lbs. I feel confused a little, I have to work at focusing so hard when I am reading or studying anything. I forget appointments . I am 66 years old so I thought I was getting sick with alzimhers . I was lead this morning to look upside effects of Lozatran . Some of this feelings I am having could be the blood pressure medicine. The first blood pressure medicine that was given made me cough so bad. I feel afraid. I am grossly over weight . I know my blood pressure needs to be controled I really need and want to lose the weight. Signed going in circles . p.s. I know you are going to say go see your doctor, but what is your input?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
No losartan can not lead to ankle swelling. I advice you to go for following investigations - Serum electrolytes Renal function tests - S. cratinine, BUN,
Liver function tests - SGPT, SGOT, ALP, S. Abumin and total protein
