Wow.  My BP was 88/44 once and I thought I was going to drop.  Permanently.  Get a specialist's opinion.

You definitely need to see a cardiologist.  A diastolic of 20 is way too low.  Wow, I am surprised you don't feel dizzy.  My diastolic went down to 50 once when I had a bad case of the stomach flu and was dehydrated.  I was so dizzy that I nearly blacked out and had to be taken to the hospital for IV fluids.

I don't know the drug you referenced but did your Dr. indicate that could be what's causing this?
