Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your blood pressure readings are suggestive of hypotension. And this is not a good thing. Your other symptoms like dizziness, breathlessness with hypotension are more suggestive of heart failure. So better to consult a cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2D echo and stress test (trade mill test). You may need to change the blood pressure medicines and other cardiac supportive drugs.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
