High Blood Pressure when Lying Down

I am 25 Years male, strictly vegeterian, no alcohol or smoking. I have mild to moderate hypertension since 7 years. I am on treatment i.e., Telmsiartan 20 one tablet in the morning. Since 3,4 days back, i started feeling mild suffocation, hence checked the BP which was around 160/100 while lying down. But when sitting in the chair it comes down around 130/70. My doctor has increased dose of telmisartan 20 to 40 one tablet in the morning. But still, while lying down my BP reading is 150/95 or 150/100.

Dizziness during exercise

Hello I'm 50F. I was diagnosed with hypertension last December. My bp was 147/90. In Feb i got ECHO done which came clear except mild LVH. EF was 60%. LV chamber size and mass was normal. Systolic and diastolic function was normal too. TMT was negative too. The doctor put me on Telmisartan. It's been 1.5 months since I started taking the medicine. Now my BP comes around 124/82. However I have noticed that during exercise, i start feeling dizzy. I'm thinking my bp goes too low during exercise. What should I do?
