Blood pressure : It's not normal for blood pressure to go up after starting blood pressure medication on average. A few questions, how are you checking your blood pressure. Blood pressure is affected, by the size of the cuff, your position (should be sitting, feet on the ground, uncrossed), eating, activity, smoking, mood. Then there is a possibility that the losartan is the problem with renal artery stenosis
