I am 67yrs.I am male.My Serum Cholesterol is 233mg/dl and Serum Urea is 46mg/dl.Very recently I checked my health and advised by the doctor to take Rantac 150mg,Rosuvas 10mg and Urimax .4mg each at bed time.I used to take Urimax for last 2yrs without any problem but since I started taking other 2 tablets I feel giddiness after getting from the bed.Is it the effect of these 2tablets?Please advice.

hi, as you are 67 yrs age ,at this age giddiness after getting up from bed most commonly because of orthostatic hypotension. Urimax can cause orthostatic hypotension in elderly , other two medication does not have that type side effects. So you better consult a physician first and check b.p. Standing and lying down positions. Till that time avoid sudden standing from lying down position , first you sit in the bed for 5 mts and after you stand.
