BP is all over the board. now Taking amlodipine-valsartan 160/mg. does this just need to adjust to my body.. just don t know what to do

Dizziness on anti-hypertensive drug may be due to postural hypotension. Take BP on lying and then on standing position after 3 minutes. You may have to adjust the drug dosage. Avoid fixed dose combination.
