No, Losartan is not a medication that will work to rapidly lower your blood pressure in such situations. It is a drug that must be taken regularly for several weeks, in order for it to reach its effectiveness level in your body.
Learn more Losartan details here.
Have you been exercising or doing a lot of activity just before taking your blood pressure reading?
Had you been drinking anything with caffeine in it?
How much sodium was in your meals for the day and the past few days?
All of these things I asked about could possibly cause the type of elevation your seeing.
What you need to do is contact your doctor and let them know, the 135 isn't a major concern, but the 102 is high and needs to be addressed, regardless of what's causing it.

My Dr recently changed my meds from Benicar 20 mgs to Losartan 100 mgs. I took my last Benicar yesterday and am hesitating taking the Losartan today due to the large mg difference and some of the comments I've read here. My Dr said the change shouldn't be a problem, but the pharmacist said my bp could fluctuate either way depending on how the Losartan absorbs in my body. Another post I read said that it could take several weeks before there is enough of the med in my system to make a difference either way. Has anyone else made this med change that can share how it has affected them? I do not have a bp machine and have to go to the Dr or a store that has a bp machine. What signs do I look for if my bp runs too high or too low?

Interval should be at least 12 hours.
But my doctor suggested three times/ day Losartan 25 mg if bp is higher than 12.5

My pharmacist shorted me four pills, so I unexpectedly ran out of my Losartan 50 mg tablets. My husband takes Losartan 100 mg. Can I split the 100 mg tablets in half until I can get to the pharmacy this weekend?

I've been on losartan potassium 100mg for about 6 months. It feels like it affects my breathing, causes tiredness and my legs feel heavy... A hair follicle test showed my potassium level is off the charts. Is losartan contributing to that amount of potassium? Should I be off it?
