Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern,
The symptoms you have suggest lowering blood pressure with sudden rise in dose.
Please consult your doctor for revising dosage schedule as per need.
Till then increase half the dose advised. Take plenty of water , light diet as advised earlier. Take rest. Avoid stress/anxiety.
Thanks
