What Causes Low BP While On Losartan And Lasix?

I was taking losartan for having breathing difficulties. Then the doctor said to also take Lasix. however when combined with Lasix it took my pressure down too low and then was told to stop the Lasix and also stop the losartan. I now feel I am going to start the losartan again

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
