Candesartan Lightheaded

I believe that my current dose of candesartan is making me lightheaded? I had been on 16mg for a while and this was increased to 24 and now 32mg. I spoke to a locum about my concerns and the dose was reduced to 24mg and the light-headedness seem to reduce. My GP reviewed this decision and advised that the dose return to 32mg. Since the increase I have seen an increase in light-headedness and at times I also get a headache. I would appreciate knowing if anyone else has experienced these side effects with candesartan.
