Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Conditions you have described are usual with medication you are taking. You should avoid abrupt physical activities or standing after taking beta blockers. Usually it should be taken while going to bed. Anti hypertensive drug may fall your BP when you stand up from sitting positions, if you feel lightness or muscle drag for long time then immediately consult your physician.
Hope it helps.
