Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that most likely your blood pressure is going low after taking Losartan which is causing pounding heart.
Kindly check your blood pressure after 2 hours of taking Losartan if it is going on lower side then consult your treating physician and switch back to Losarta.
I hope this information will answer your query.
Kind Regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap
