there could be two reasons,
first one more likely is high dose diovan you are receiving, it tend to decrease blood pressure. so should discuss with physician regarding lowering dose. Also carvedilol also decrease bp.
secondly I need to know your ejection fraction because it is low then it can cause low blood pressure as well. so currently dose of diovan should be reduced.
