What Causes Lightheadedness And Dizziness While On Medication For High BP?
Have had high blood pressure and have benn taking Loaart/HCT 50-12.5 tabs and alsometprololer25mG tabs to slow heart beat. Have had some light headedness an dissyness coul I possibly stop the Losartan or get a half dose. Blood pressure sitting is 106/68
Hi Based on the history given you seem to have developed a moderate fall in BP or hypotension. It could be due inappropriate dose of Losartan/hydrochlorothiazide. Consult your treating doctor to review the prescribed medications and possibly adjust the dose of Losartan/hct combination. Hope this will work.
