I had been on losartan 50 daily for hypertention for 1 year & recently i had some palpitation & doctor change me to diltiazem sr 90 daily. is it ok?

Probably good: Presumably, your doctor has evidence you have an arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm). The Diltiazem has antiarrhythmic properties which the losartan lacks.
