Hi,
Neither of these medicines cause low blood pressure. It's possible that something else is doing that.

Dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) can cause mild blood pressure lowering due to its diuretic effect (it causes you to lose extra water and sodium in urine). A BP of 95/65 may be acceptable if you're not feeling weak, dizzy, or lightheaded. But if you are experiencing symptoms like:
Dizziness
Fainting
Fatigue
Blurred vision
then you should consult your doctor — they may need to adjust the dose or check your hydration and kidney function.

Can u pls let me know ur HBA1C ?
Fasting sugars ?
What about any symptoms or illness related to heart and kidneys ? I means can u pls let me know ur lipid profile and kidney function tests ?
Dapagliflozin replaced with glimipiride because it is more cardioprotective and renoprotective .
Moreover your BP is not too low .
But if u feel weak u can take ORS tetra packs once a day.
Next Steps
Take vitamin B12 tablets( Neurobion forte ) along with these medications as you might get neuropathy 1.) because of diabetes itself 2.) because of the side effects of metformin ….
Health Tips

First of BP u have mentioned is 95/65 which technically not possible so I guess u have measured with digital meter .. I suggest u to once check with manually in near doctor clinic ..
To answer ur query , yes dapagliflozine can reduce BP .. now if ur normal diabetic pt without any heart failure case then it is not a normal bp.. u should change ur medications.. nd if does it’s normal ..
Next Steps
Change the medication and find out the root cause of hypotension
