Light Headed, Get Hot Flashes, Tingling In Tongue. On Benzraphril For Hypertension. Reason ?

I have an ongoing issue with being light headed. Been to several doctors. No reason figured out. Recently, i have been getting hot flashes with increased lightheadedness with a new twist - hot flashes in my face and a tingleing on my tongue. 51 yr male taking 40mg benazraphril for per hypertension. But bp is typicaly in low range 110/65 or so.
Something I ate? I am very active with my work - general contractor. Eat typical apple in morning, protien bar with cucumbers and bell pepers for lunch, and reg dinner.
