Past couple of days after taking a new pill my blood pressure was 94/59 and now with dizziness and cant sleep it is 92/52. what is it telling me?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your blood pressure readings show that you have hypotension. Hypotension is defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) is less than 90 mm Hg or diastolic BP less than 60 mm Hg. In low blood pressure blood flow to the brain and other vital organs decreases causing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue or headaches.
It is highly likely your new blood pressure medicine is the cause of your low blood pressure. When the dose of the medicine is changed or a new medicine is prescribed for high blood pressure patients should monitor their blood pressure at home every day to adjust the dose of the medicine. Please, consult with your doctor about your symptoms. It is likely the dose of your medicine should be decreased.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you,
