Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that Clonidine can cause you such symptoms like dizziness and weak and decrease in Blood pressure more than 40mmHg instantly can also result in these symptoms.
It's recommended for you to take Telmisarten 40 mg once daily till your next appointment with your Physician.
I hope this information will answer your query.
Kind Regards
