Brief Answer:
What are your blood pressure measurements?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this excessive sweating and dizziness. I have reviewed your medications and am a bit concerned about the high blood drugs. I will like you to monitor your blood especially during this dizzy spells. This is because I am suspecting you could be having intervals of significant drop in blood pressure responsible for these symptoms. Three medications seem a lot to me. Keep me posted with the measured values!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I reduced a 60mg Isosorbide tablet by 1/2 and feel much better @ this time. I'm in the prosess of waiting for an appointment for para thyroid procedure since my calcium is moving from the bones to the blood. Could this affect equallibriam or dizziness in your opinion? Thanks for your help & on the next review I'll have some blood pressure measurements

Brief Answer:
Not typical of low calcium!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Loss of equilibrium or dizziness is not typical of low calcium. Reviewing the blood pressure and its medications give us the best shot. Followup with the testing and let me know how it goes. Exercising is a great way to keep healthy, always consider doing so.

Until next, I wish you well.
