What Causes Painful Spasms On The Back While On Bystolic And Losartan?
I m not sure if you answer questions like mine, but here it is. I have hypertension and take Bystolic and Losartan. Lately, my blood pressure has been creeping up a bit. I am having very painful back spasms. My P.C. wants me to take Meloxicam and a muscle relaxer. She wants me to double up on my Losartan while taking the Meloxicam because of its tendency to raise blood pressure. I take 50mg of Losartan daily. I haven t been able to reach my cardiologist to get his input. Does this seem like a reasonable course of treatment?
