Does Valsartan Cause Dizziness?

I am now on 5 mg of Lisinopril twice daily. I would like to try Valsartan. I am very light headed. What mg of Valsartan would I take if my Dr. decides to try Valsartan. I haven t looked at the side effects of Valsartan. I wonder if it would make me light headed also. I don t do well on medications.
