Slightly low(below60) Diastolic Blood Pressure

Does anyone have a slightly lower diastolic blood pressure ( mine is sometimes 58,59) whilst taking Brinzolamide and Bimatoprost?

On two occasions I have felt a bit faint.

Thanks a lot.

Hello. As your diastolic blood pressure is lower than normal for you and you have felt a bit faint on two occasions, it would be wise to let your eye specialist know. It may be that one of the drops need changing and they will probably be aware which one could be causing this side effect. Give the eye secretary a call to pass the message onto your eye specialist for advice.
