Does Reduced Losartan Dosage Cause Fluctuating Blood Pressure Levels?
Have had swollen lower legs for several months. The swelling has gone, but the area is still very warm. Also had BP issues. one minute it is very high, e.g. 171/89 pulse 82, then 4 hours later it takes a dive to 103.54. Saw my GP other day and am to reduce Losartan. Are the two things linked?

Hello,
The current dosage of anti hypertensive with low reading in between is showing that there is dose reduction required for the issue.
Salt restricted diet with plenty of liquids will give better results ahead.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
