If I were you, I would give your doctor a ring. It is possible that your medication is dropping your blood pressure too low and it may need to be titrated to your needs. The doctor may have you come in for a while and check blood pressures laying down, sitting, and immediately upon standing.
The real way to get an accurate blood pressure is to have the patient sit quietly for at least five minutes, then take a minimum of three readings at least a minute apart, discarding out-liers and repeating until you get consistent readings. How many times have any of us actually had that done, though?
