Brief Answer:
Avapro dosage should be revised

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

If it is the first time, don't take your blood pressure medication Avapro, if it continues for some days then the dosage should be decreased, you can divide the tablet, until you can see your doctor, if low blood pressure persists after half dose then the medication should be withdrawn. Your diuretic also should be revised, don't take it unless you have dispnea.

Take care
