Hi!
Dizziness is a known and common side effects of both medications that you are using. To prevent or reduce the feeling of dizziness, I would recommend that you:
- re-consult the dose of your medications with your doctor (maybe you can use Dulotin 10mg instead of 20mg).
- avoid getting up quickly from a laying or sitting position.
- avoid moving or rotating your head too fast from one position to another.
- Reduce the amount of sodium in your food. Also reduce the level of caffeine, nicotine and alcohol use.
-If none of the above is helping, you can try to use an anti-dizziness drug after consulting this with your doctor.
I hope my recommendations will be helpful for you!
All the best and thank you for using healthcare magic!
