Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You shouldn't worry this is normal when you start antihypertensive treatment.

My suggestion is you should continue with treatment and monitoring the BP. If the BP drop below 100 mmhg you should discuss with your doctor to take half the dose.

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
