Dear sir

Increased heart rate and decreased blood pressure will cause light headedness.

Secondly low blood pressure should be analysed for ejection fraction which should be more than 60%.

Thirdly betablockers which have cardioselectivity in property control blood pressure.

So consult a cardiologist and you might be adviced to start ionotropics like digoxin.

Thanks
