What Causes Dizziness And Weakness?

My grandmother feels weak and dizzy every morning. She is not a diabetic. We have taken her to the hospital four times. I had them take her off her lisinopril for fainting. She is on ASA,MVI,Metoprolol ER,Prevacid,Evista,Levothyroxine,statin,recently put on celexa and sinemet(for shaking). I think parkinsons or other medication causing problems. I asked for a holter monitor. They ran every test available(EEG,CT,ECHO,TILT TEST,ALL LABS,A1C AND ENDOCRINE(ALSO PER MY REQUEST). Then the rest of the day she is fine.

Hi,

I agree with you that one of the medicines may be causing these side effects, as all her tests have come out as normal. Try stopping Sinemet and see if she feels better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
