Losartan: Complex issue. Please discuss with your Dr. I would take BP seared and standing to see if it drops a lot.

Yes: Dizziness/lightheadedness is indeed a known side effect of losartan. Taking it at bedtime instead of in the morning may be effective in decreasing or preventing this side effect.

I'm a male, 47 years old, on Losartan and Carvedilol after a heart attack in 2016. Often I notice that my blood pressure dips into the range of 90/59 - 105/70. I have no symptoms of hypotension (dizziness, etc). Are these low numbers dangerous?
