Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Dizziness While On Blood Pressure Medication?
I experience dizziness even when I am just sitting. It is worse when I am moving. My blood pressure reading is 150 to 130 with 85 to 72, and a pulse of 58 to 68 The only medicine I use is : 75 mg Effexor XR /day and 100 mg Losartan to keep BP lower.
Your blood pressure is not well controlled. Sometimes it can cause dizziness. I would advise you to see your doctor for reevaluating your treatment and also I would advise you to undergo carotid ultrasound,as the second cause for your dizziness can be blockage or narrowing of the vessels, which supply blood to your brain
Hope I could help you
Wish you good health
Regards,
