She might be having wide fluctuations in her BP. Go for ambulatory bp monitoring. That can give her max./ min/ average BP through out the day. Get her renal function done to assess serum electrolytes. Low sodium may cause tiredness and general weakness. See a cardiologist.
Next Steps
renal function tests ABPM
Health Tips
dose can be adjusted according to ABPM report.
