Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The possible reasons are hypotesion, low pulse rate or low blood sugar. She should monitor her blood pressure and if on lower side then dose of anti-hypertensives should be reduced. Also, get pulse rate checked if on lower side; then Carvedilol dose needs to be reduced. Glimepiride may cause low blood sugar.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
