High Blood Pressure
"Bad medicine!!! Guess I fall in the 1 percent!  Had taken Benicar for almost 4 years with no problems but due to insurance issues doctor decided to switch me to losartan. After first week had so much pressure in chest and head thought I was going to explode, left leg  started to retain fluid while at work.. Didn&#039;t take the next day and contacted doctor who immediately got me in to see him. Borderline EKG results...low heart rate...BP horribly high. Now a stress test and eco cardiogram scheduled asap to rule out a heart attack. What!?! I&#039;m a healthy 49 year old landscaper of 28 years who works out at least 3x a week and the medicine they put me on might have given me a heart attack???  Please be aware of any new medication!"
