Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to tell you that your symptoms could be due to two factors
1. You are on a slightly higher dose of ativan. Ideally it's taken as 1-2 mg per day, it can also cause you dizzy spells.
2. Low blood pressure can also cause dizziness. As you are taking bisoprolol Hctz it can cause a low blood pressure there by causing dizzy spells. Kindly check your blood pressure whenever you feel dizzy.
I hope this information will be helpful.
