What Causes Dizziness And Tiredness After BP Medicines Intake?

Contact cardiologist to discuss altering meds.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic.
Your normal daily activities are being affected by dizziness and tiredness and these are most likely secondary to your medication. The figures you mention for blood pressure and heart rate are lower than the normal average values. When you stand up, your heart is not able to send enough blood to your brain and this is the cause of your dizziness. Likewise, your muscles are not getting enough blood and therefore you feel tired.
I would suggest your medication does need adjusting. However, it would be better to discuss this with your cardiologist who knows you better and has a complete record of your health. I recommend you contact your cardiologist as he/she is likely to be able to advise over the phone which of your meds they want to reduce first. It could be the bystolic is the likely culprit but do not make adjustments until your cardiologist has assessed your situation.
I hope this is of help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
