Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your blood pressure is lower than normal now. So it is better to adjust the dosage of anti hypertensive medication after consulting your treating doctor. If your blood pressure is low like this and having fatigue that means you are having low perfusion of vital organs due to low blood pressure.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
