Hi,
You were taking Olmesartan (Azor) before which is an advanced version of angiotensin receptor blocker. Losartan is an old generation one. It is better to switch on to at least Telmisartan which is more efficient than Losartan. Go with low salt diet and get adequate sleep.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
