Question

Answer 1

her diastolic pressure is low, you better consult her doctor and he may want to change her medication or it's dose.

Answer 2

The Diastolic part(55) is a little low(but not dangerously), track it for a few days and let the doctor know. He might want to cut back her meds to Diovan 80/12.5 QD.

Answer 3

Atenolol is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It also is used to prevent angina (chest pain) and treat heart attacks. Atenolol is in a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by slowing the heart rate and relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard.
Valsartan is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. It is also used to treat heart failure in people who cannot take angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Valsartan is in a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of certain chemicals that tighten the blood vessels, so blood flows more smoothly.
Keep all appointments with your doctor. Your blood pressure should be checked regularly to determine your response to atenolol. Your doctor may ask you to check your pulse (heart rate). Ask your pharmacist or doctor to teach you how to take your pulse. If your pulse is faster or slower than it should be, call your doctor.

Answer 4

Take the opinion of her doctor/consultant, could be overdosage of some medication by her, stop the second dose, and take her to an ER immediately.
It's no time to take risk if the fall of BP was abrupt.

Answer 5

She could have taken more pills or the heart is pumping very slowly. consult doctor immediately.
