What Causes Discomfort In The Fingers While On Losartan?

My blood pressure increased to 188/101. My doctor put me on 50 mg of Losartan, then increased it to another 50mg. My blood pressure has come down but I have noticed that after taking the medication in the morning, my fingers turn very cold and I sort of feel weird. By the afternoon, i begin to feel a lot better. He also has me 5 mg of Amlodipine which i take at bedtime. My question is why am I experiencing this so call weird feeling which go away with time
