Brief Answer:
youe doctor is right

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
Your doctor is very right. The conversyl AKA perindopril and atenolol are both responsible for the dizziness and pressure in the head most likely a migraine headache.
Also you using potassium supplements with a diuretic is worth keeping eye on as perindopril itself can cause increase potassium levels.keep an eye in your electrolyte panel.
Now you can either be readjusted and reshuffled with the dosages or if the issue persists the change of medications can be considered.your doctor is cent percent right about the etiology of your symptoms.i agree.
Pay him and visit and let him decide what is best for you.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
