What Causes Jerks In Body While Sleeping Post Intake Of Losartan?

I have been taking 25 mg of losartan for about a year, as I am 55 year old woman with an irregular heart beat and mild high blood pressure. I take the tablet at bedtime, just so I remember to take it. If I try to take it right before going to sleep, I frequently experience a series of jerks, like you do before you fall asleep. Should I be concerned about this? I ve started reading in bed for about an hour before I fall asleep, just so I don t have to deal with the jolting sensation. Thank you!

Hi,

Your body is adjusting to meds but need EEG to rule out any severity. I will suggest electrolytes levels too.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
