What Causes High Blood Pressure Despite Taking Losartan And Lisinopril?

I justed started losartan 100, lasinopril was not getting my very high bp below 160/105. I go back to doc in 3 weeks, do I need to get my potassium levels checked at that time. Also I am having very detailed long dreams, none bad. Anything to worry about? Feel ok except sore throat and mild occasional light headedness
