Programs

There are programs already made for you. Examples:

Your current program

As for the program you're doing right now, it's no good, I'm afraid.

There's nothing wrong with the exercises, but the fact that you do the same amount of reps, same amount of sets, same amount of weight every time. Your muscles need to be challenged, and if you just do the same thing over and over, you're not getting any stronger.

Metaphor

Solve these math problems.

2 + 2 = __

2 + 2 = __

2 + 2 = __

2 + 2 = __

Did you get any better at math? No, right? Because you've done this before, and there is no progress.

Your caveats

I don't know what's causing your low BP, and I'll assume that it's your doctor that recommended exercise. Even so, I'm not sure 1.5-2 hours in the gym is needed. If you get the compound exercises in (which it looks like you're already doing, and the programs I gave you would incorporate them too), you're gonna have progress.
