What Causes Sudden Drop In Blood Pressure?

I am taking Hydrochlorot for high blood pressure. Today, my blood pressure bottomed out, 60/42. This has happened in the past, so my reaction was to elevate my legs and lower my head. This took place 5 hours ago. I still am weak with a slight headache. What causes this sudden drop in blood pressure?
