It might be your medications.

Can you list them for me?

I take a beta blocker and have no problems with it.

I did however have a terrible reaction to Lisinopril. (which is an ACE inhibitor for blood pressure.) I had dizziness and huge fatigue from it, and also lupus, and angioedema swelling! Since changing to atenolol, I have no more problems.

Coreg however is a beta blocker that is very strong, and it can cause slow heart beat and lack of aerobic endurance in some people.

Some people react to blood pressure medications and report less stamina and strength to do tasks. This might indicate the need for a dosage adjustment.

If your sugars get high there will also be fatigue. This is because the cells are starving as the glucose is not getting into them and is remaining in the blood instead.
