Since her medications were recently changed to dapagliflozin and amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide, her blood pressure might be dropping temporarily when she stands up. As an affordable next step, please measure her blood pressure while sitting and then immediately after standing to check for these drops. Keeping her well-hydrated and having her stand up slowly can help. Additionally, a simple, low-cost electrocardiogram (ECG) at a local clinic can provide valuable clues about her heart rhythm without the need for expensive monitors. Please share these findings with her doctor.
