Does Skipping Losartan Dosage While Suffering From Hypertension Cause Any Harm?

I am 68 female recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure. About 1 month ago, dr prescribed Lisinopril 10 mg. I took this for the 4weeks but I was not feeling great... coughing and tired. Yesterday, went to the dr; she was pleased with my blood pressure but changed the prescription to losaratan 25 mg. This afternoon I have been very dizzy with a mild stomach ache. What happens if I do not take the losaratan for a few days?
