Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out hypotension in your case.
You are taking three tablets for hypertension. So these might cause hypotension because hypotension can cause dizziness, tachycardia (palpitations) and heaviness in the eyes.
So first of all get done blood pressure monitoring and if you have hypotension then you need to stop some of the drugs.
If blood pressure is normal then get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg) to rule out arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) because arrhythmia can cause palpitations and dizziness.
Sorry to say but I can't prescribe medicine, it's not legal on this site. I can only give advice.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks
