Hello and thanks for writing in at HCM
I am a jr. to cardiologist. You not written clearly about the hypo-tension whether you have recorded Blood pressure manually,(if yes than what is the reading) or patient has some symptoms (if yes than what are they).
As you have a history of Coronary Artery Disease and not cleared about the stenosis in the coronary arteries, as CART was not done. So don't stop nikoran and Sorbitrate, consult your cardiologist about the doses.
Kindly give the clear picture about the hypotension with symptoms, so that I can give you a clear picture and answer.
