Hello , If your blood pressure reading a re below 115 systolic and below 70 diastolic you may consider decreasing the blood pressure medication dose as lower pressure may cause undue fatigue and weakness .
So get the blood pressure checked mechanically by a medical personal and based on that you may decrease the medication under supervision of your doctor .
