I'm really worried because I was initially diagnosed with high blood pressure at 14690 due to stress and overworking, but it dropped to 14090 the next day. My doctor put me on Amfirst AT, and after taking it for a week, my blood pressure became really low at 11070. I don't usually have issues with blood pressure, and I think the medication made it too low. What should I do now?

It seems like the medication Amfirst AT, which contains Amlodipine and Losartan, has lowered your blood pressure too much. You should stop taking the medication and consult your doctor immediately. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance on managing your blood pressure.
