Side effects


About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with hyper-tension. My Dr. put me on Lisinopril. Late last year (2014), I developed a dry hacking cough. My Doctor & I concluded that it must've been the Lisinopril. Then, I was put on
Losartan. Within 2 1/2 months my muscles started to ache which led to problems sleeping. My legs ( calves & hamstrings) would get very tight & I would need to constantly stretch.
Has anybody using Losartan experienced these side effects??

Thanks

Losartan is not known to have many side effects.  I've been taking it for a few months with no problems.  

Have you had any other medication changes?  Do you take any statins for cholesterol issues?

Yes, I've only been on it a week and I experience the muscle aches and bilateral flank pain as well.  In addition, insomnia!  This *****
