It sounds like the new medication, cetanil - T 10/40, might be lowering your blood pressure too much, causing those symptoms of dizziness and weakness. These side effects can happen when blood pressure drops too quickly. It might be a good idea to talk to your cardiologist about switching to Telma 20, which could be gentler on your system. In the meantime, try not to stand up too quickly to avoid dizziness.
