High Blood Presure - Losartan, Micardis, Konverge??
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello Folks, I am a 58 year old chap with high bp. Diagnosed in 2011. Currently taking Losartan 50mg and lercanidipine 20mg daily. I have found that taking anything that ends in "sartan" cripples me with stiffness all over, particularly my knees get so stiff. Anyone else had these side effects? Doctors not much help. Better still, anyone recommend a good bp tablet that has minimal side effects? (and does the job)

this is what my doctor prescribed
my bp isnt quite high though and its dropping...i changed drastically what i eat

sounds like your doctor is your best consultant on what to take to get rid of those side effects
best of luck

Yes I had these side effects from lisinopril and then losartan and found the stiffness got worse over time. I did find I could tolerate indapamine with no problems but on its own it wasn't very effective.
I actually ended up with Sciatica with the lisinopril and what a life changing experience that was, it caused me significant long term damage.
