I was in our hospital here in Maine, for a a COPD Flare up, and one nite my BP was super high, whereas it is normally low.. All the staff that was on, were flipped out, using different cuffs, stethoscopes, arms thingies for BP, and all I wanted to do was SLEEP..
As it turned out, they started giving me, Losartan, a BP MED, and my primary care doc kept me on it for a few months …until…my kidney numbers, my eGFR started to be questionable!! I learned that LOSARTAN is EXTREMELY Rough on our kidneys.. so after multiple(es) of blood draws, consultations, etc, I apparently had ‘kidney damage’, then CKD Stage 3..
I have never, ever had a lower than healthy eGFR..
AND..
So it is..
