Hello.Welcome.Dizziness and mild headache can occur with use of losartan but they are generally mild and go away with persistent use.If your BP is normal there is no need to change the dose.Your pulse rate is absolutely normal.Never ever change or modify your medicine without consulting your physician.Good luck.
