Very likely.: Having blood pressure drop when you stand up is a common side effect of all blood pressure lowering medications. People usually describe that as being lightheaded. If that's the case, lowering the dose should help. They will still have to check you blood pressure to be sure it isn't too high on the lowered dose though.

Yes: After examining you, the cardiologist has prescribed the most suitable medicine with most appropriate dose. Have trust in your doctor. At the same time discuss your concerns with him. Good luck !

It might: It might be enough to have you not be light-headed. If it does not help, let your cardiologist know about this.
