Brief Answer:
Considerations.
Detailed Answer:
hello and thanks for the query.
Regarding your medication concern - your blood pressure will likely run lower than usual today. this may cause some fatigue or possibly light headed feelings. This is not a life threatening issue however and you will ultimately be fine.
I would recommend that you increase your fluid intake over the course of the day and avoid strenuous exertion or exercise.
You can resume your normal medication dose tomorrow without a problem.
Thanks again for sending the query.
Sincerely,
Dr Galamaga
