What Causes High Blood Pressure And Dizziness While Taking Librium, Celebrex And Rampril?

Hello. I've just recently noticed something & I'm curious if you think it's my medication or my illness. I'm a 36 yr female diagnosed with Late Diagnosed Severe Neurological Lyme Disease. Went through a full year of IV antibiotics, still have active bacteria along with several co-infections. Lately my symptoms have been increasingly similar to MS. I have 2 appts with different Neurologists for evaluation. I've been on 450 mg of Lyrica daily along with 50 mg of Librium daily, 200 mg of Celebrex, 60 mg of Prozac daily & 10 mg of Ramipril. I've also been on Fentanyl at mcg but am waiting for my first appointment with a pain management Dr. Dizziness has always been part of my condition but lately my blood pressure has be running high with no explanation, to the extent I was taken to the ER one night. I've recently started keeping a journal of my blood pressure daily because my PCP wants to decide if I'm on the right med. I've taken my blood pressure after every dizzy spell & fall today & it's averaging 97/55. My blood pressure has never been so low. In your opinion is it my meds doing it or just my condition & should I be concerned as someone who has high blood pressure for it to drop to the lowest I've ever seen for myself.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you are taking antihypertansive drug, and next you have history of dizziness and also your blood pressure is on lower side, in my opinion you have to stop the antihypertansive drug "Rampril" this will rule of the possibility of dizziness due to drug induced hypo-tension, I could say that you must be having some functional elements also and that needs to be lower down, hope this information helps you, have good time.
