losartan & lasix are used for lowering blood pressure, while lasix also decreases fluid overload.
1st of all why were you having breathing difficulties, how is your heart function. Have u got a 2 d echo done.
If breathing difficulty is due to cardiac dysfunction, you can start with lasix instead of losartan
