Doctor prescribed 50mg Losartan potassium daily to lower blood pressure. Blood pressure fluctuates a lot recently (very high/very low daily). Should she take the medication also when blood pressure is normal? We cannot reach doctor during pandemic.

I'm on Benicar (olmesartan) 20 mg for high blood pressure now. Is this safe? Will my potassium get to high or my kidneys fail? And will it control pulse rate as well
