Hi, your symptoms of dizziness/lightheadedness could be due to the low pressure. When you feel dizzy, you should lie down as this improves blood supply to the brain. If repeated recordings of blood pressure indicate low readings, then the medication dosage may need to be adjusted. As this can result in postural hypotension, a condition in which the peripheral arteries dilate, leading to pooling of blood in the peripheries. This in effect causes decreased circulation of blood resulting in dizziness/lightheadedness. This is more pronounced if the person stands up from a lying down position. This is detected by recording the blood pressure recordings in the sitting, standing and lying down positions. If the variations in blood pressure recordings are more than 10 mmHg, it is diagnosed as postural hypotension/Orthostatic Hypotension. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Regards.
