Hi,
You are right the readings you said are low and if associated with fainting would need to intervene.
The reasons for your low BP is definitely your drugs as you are taking two drugs that can cause low BP. Carvedilol and Hydrochlorothiazide both cause low BP.
So I understand it's necessary to stop the drugs or reduce it. Please talk to your doctor in this regards.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
