[QUOTE="tigerlily72, post: 1277430, member: 38433"] [FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4]My blood pressure medication was changed very recently. I've been on the new pills - Losartan for 10 days now. So why are my readings still on the high side?! I've taken two readings today, both when I was relaxed and resting - the first at midday was 167/105 and the second at 2.45pm (to check if I'd got an inaccurate result) was 161/96 :( I obviously need to give it another week or so but surely they should be lowering my BP by now? I'm taking 1 pill daily (12.5mg).[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
