chances are you have a diuretic component in your bp medicine and the electrolyte imbalance caused by these tablets may cause the trouble u have
i would suggest you get the sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium levels tested
let us know with these reports
and the medicine you take for bp, along with the dose and frequency you use the tablet
best of luck
