Suggest Treatment For High BP While On Losartan
In the last 9 months I began taking Losarten for High blood pressure although my blood pressure rarely gets above 140/85 and often drops to 110/60 also in the last 3 months I have been taking Metformin for Diabetes. Here is my question I have been extremely fatigued and depressed could these meds be contributing to this? I have been very good at monitoring my blood sugar and it has never been outside of the normal range. Could I be taking or eating something that is interacting with these medications to cause my fatigue and depression?

Hi,
Thanks for your question on HCM
I do understand your concern
“As” per your clinical history is concerned your blood pressure is 140/85 and it is normal so no need to change medication if it stays below this range. Regarding fatigue please check your vitamin B12 and iron level and if low take oral or injectable medications for it. For your depression please talk with your doctor to prescribe [fluoxetine-20 mg] if you really need it.
Hope that helps
