Does Losartan Cause Problems In Sleep, Pain In He Neck And Anxiety?

Hi, I have been taking losartan K 50 mg for almost 3 years, it was fine until recently. In the past two weeks I have problems in sleep, could not sleep at all and have pain the neck. I check my BP is 125 by 110. Checked it several times. 3 years before I was taking amlodipine 5mg. I was fine. Should I change Losartan to amolodipine? Or would you suggest something else. I do not have currently any issues relating to anxiety. would be grateful for your kind advice.

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Losartan.

You can use Amlodipine.

I also suggest using a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide if you have high blood pressure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
