What Causes Low Blood Pressure?

My husband just took 1 pill of terazosin 2 mg before dinner--and his blood pressure is now 104/59. He is also on high blood pressure medicine---which he took this morning. He is having dizziness now which I am assuming it s because of the low blood pressure. I was wondering if the terazosin could have caused the low blood pressure?
