General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
As you suspect, you are showing signs of postural hypotension, a rapid fall in the blood pressure on standing.
I suggest you get your BP checked again and let your doctor know that you have recently develop these symptoms. A reduction in dose would probably solve your problem.
Hope this helped.
