Light Headedness, No Headache. Taking Flomax

64 year old male, good health, 5'9" 165 lbs. This evening I am experiencing a light headed pulsing sensation in my head. This has occurred twice before in the last 2 weeks. There is no headache or pain. Just a strange feeling and now that it has occurred again I am a bit concerned. I am not on any medication other than Flomax in the evenings. Have experienced normal sleeping patterns.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.

You need to get evaluated by your GP.

In addition, your BP should be checked in lying down and standing position, to see if your BP drops while standing (postural hypotension). This can cause light headedness.

Also, your hemoglobin, sugar, cholesterol levels should be checked in the blood to see if they are abnormal.

As of now, there is no need to worry.
I hope it helps.

Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
