What Do Frequent Episodes Of Fall While On Medication For Low BP Suggest?

My 78 yr old father has been having bouts of falling lately. He says he does not remember feeling dizzy or light headed before or after but he tends to fall after getting up from a sitting or lying down position. He does have low blood pressure and takes meds for it. He does have other health issues that I m concerned with. Could this problem be due to his heart, TIAs, or?? His doctor says he thinks it is due to his meds interfering with each other- LASIK and blood pressure meds- so he cut them in half. I m not convinced though as he has been on these meds for quite some time.
