Does Weight Loss Help In Reducing Blood Pressure Levels?
I am on 50mg of larsotan and recently lost almost 10 lbs. I am now feeling light headed after taking it in the am like I have for the past 8 months. Is it possible that my weight loss has naturally helped my blood pressure return to normal and I either don t need that dosage or the medicine at all?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure values.
I agree with you on the fact that loosing some weight has lowered your blood pressure naturally.
For this reason, I would recommend stopping Losartan for some days and closely monitor your blood pressure values.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
