Does Valsartan Cause Breathlessness And Fatigue?
I switched from losartan 100 to valsartan 320 about 3 months ago, and I have had a runny nose ever since. Now the supplier has changed, and I am short of breath, and extremely tired. I still have the losartan, and tested by taking it instead and didn t feel this tiredness and breath shortness.

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Though Losartan and Valsartan below to the same group i.e. ARB, there are individual differences. Your symptoms are of an allergic nature and it is as you have shown due to Valsartan. You can change over to Losartan with your doctor's consent. Check your blood pressure frequently and make sure that it is under control.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
