HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would cause a further drop in his blood pressure.
This would present with symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, clammy skin, shortness of breath, confusion, blurred vision, nausea
He should drink fluids and consider using a little salt to help raise the blood pressure.
He also needs to speak to his doctor about his medication. It may need adjustment or discontinuation.
I hope this helps
