Hi,
Losartan lowers BP and does cause postural drop which is why you feel dizzy. I would advise you should check your BP if that's low you should stop taking it.
If BP is not low then we advise to take this drug just before bed and start low dose.
It's always good to consult your doctor about these drugs before starting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
