What Causes Dizziness And Drowsiness In An Elderly Person?

default
Posted on Mon, 24 Apr 2017
Question: I am a 70 year old male. I have more than a few issues, and I take several medications. Many of these warn that they can cause dizziness or drowsiness. I can assure you they do. Some of them must be taken twice per day. Most of them don't have a stated time to take them. My question is - except for those meds I am to take twice each day, is it safe to take all the rest at bed time? There are maybe 20 or so.

Brief Answer:
Can you kindly provide us with a list of your medications?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It will be nice to have a list of your medications and how you currently take them before being able to weigh in adequately. I will suggest that you do so as a follow up question and I will weigh in there after.

I look forward hearing from you so as to be able to provide more insights and helpful recommendations.

Waiting!
