Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You had hypertension with low potassium level. Potassium level is very sensitive and need to correct first. After treatment your blood pressure is low. It may be due to drugs you are taking to control your blood pressure. Dizziness, light headache and tiredness may be due to your low blood pressure. You should consult your physician and changes the drug or dosages of that drugs. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Also check your potassium level again.
