HI
Well come to HCM
Looking to the age of your father this is geriatric problem, better to reduce the dose of antihypertensive or if possible change it, because losartan is angiotensin receptor antagonist little toxic drug, instead calcium channel (low dose )blocker would be much better in this age group, else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care.
