Brief Answer:
YES / AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
YES
You SHOULD call your doctor – IMMEDIATELY
The fall may be from the drugs
Yet, it is safer and wise to exclude other silent causes
You may need EKG and/or blood tests…
In the meantime, hold Lisinopril
Re-check after a few hours
If still low, reduce the next dose of Bisoprolol to half
It should not be stopped suddenly
It can reduce the heart rate and blood pressure
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
