Hi there. Your wife needs to discontinue the beta-blocker for a start as it is further lowering her blood pressure. I am not sure about her other medications. She should discuss that with her own doctor. It is not good for her to be going around with this low blood pressure as she is in danger of falling. Thanks and good luck.
