Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
No, these are not usual side effects of cold medications. You should see if some other medication you take have such side effetc and drink more fluids and salty food. If there is no improvement, you should see cardiologist since some heart issues may be related with low blood pressure.
Wish you good health. Kindly regards.
