Hello, Losartan can occasionally cause nasal congestion and stuffy nose as well as difficulty in breathing. Since you are 100 mg Losartan, and none of the other tests have been negative or have no found any reason, it is propably due to Losartan. It would be better to go in for another antihypertensive drug like Olmesartan or Perindopril. You may ask your doctor whether this change will help. Thanks.
