Headache is a common adverse effect of angiotensin II receptor antagonists, also known as ARBs, due to their vasodilatory effects on the blood vessels in the brain. Other common adverse effects include dizziness, hypotension, and hyperkalemia, but hypokalemia is not a commonly reported adverse effect. Bradycardia and insomnia are also not commonly reported adverse effects of ARBs.
