losartan is good medicine ..please check whether u r amaemiac or not ...also get it FBS RBS checked...if these are normal then go for echocardiography to check heart function ...but as a matter of fact these are not related to losartan ...and u may be having some other problem ...first of all check BP...as maximum effect of losartan takes about 2 weeks..
