Should I Be Concerned About Pounding Feeling And Higher Heart Rate?

I'm 43. The doc put me on 25mg Losartan. I can feel my heart pounding in my chest sometimes when I'm resting, and my heart rate is in the mid 80s, where as it used to average in the 60s and 70s. Should I bee concerned about this pounding feeling and the higher heart rate?
