I always have had low blood pressure, and really shouldn't because I am a long-time smoker.

I have a blood pressure monitor, and keep an eye on things. When I start to get periods of light-headedness (which can occur for several weeks at a time), I eat about a dozen pretzels.

HOWEVER, if you think this might be caused by your meds, and it is making you feel unwell, I don't think a bandaide (pretzels) is the right solution for you. You should talk to your doc!
