General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Based on the history given you seem to have developed a moderate fall in BP or hypotension. It could be due inappropriate dose of Losartan/hydrochlorothiazide. Consult your treating doctor to review the prescribed medications and possibly adjust the dose of Losartan/hct combination.
Hope this will work.
