What Causes Chills And Night Sweats While On Losartan And Amlodipine?

I am taking Amlodipine 2.5mg in evening, along with Labetalol 300mg every 12 hours, and Losartan 100 mg in AM. I have occasional chills at night, and regularly have night sweats related to awakening to urinate 3-4 times each night dependably. I am a fairly healthy 87 year old female, and my question in since my B/P seems steady at normal levels, might I be able to decrease one or more of the above meds?
