What Causes Fatigue And Breathlessness After Taking Losartan?

i have been taking losartan for six months. during that time, i have also been complaining of fatigue, breathlessness, chest pain, edema (especially legs), intermittent chills and low-grade fever - all of which i recently discovered are potential negative side effects of taking losartan. i discontinued losartan cold turkey. i am monitoring my blood pressure and it is all over the place, but mostly running 120-130 / 60-80. that doesn t seem too bad at almost 60. am i safe to assume the only thing i need to be monitoring is BP?

Hello,

It is unlikely be related to losartan. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
