Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern I would like to explain that there are some interactions between the drugs he is taking.
It has been shown that lisinopril and terazosin can cause an exaggerated first dose hypotensive response.
This means that when combined together in the first days they can cause an extreme decrease in the blood pressure.
Another drug that can cause fatigue and sleepiness is lorazepam, which is a drug which main effect is anxiolytic and sedative.
I would recommend you to closely monitor his blood pressure. If it is low, I recommend to consult with the GP and lower the doses of lisinopril and lorazepam.
Hope to have been helpful!
