HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted March 13, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 13, 2008 I take Metropolol 100 X2, Norvasc, Lisonipril 40mg, Hydrochloride, I also use clonidine if the top line gets above 150. I take enough BP meds to mellow out a Rhino. If I didnt take them, I would have stroked out a long time ago. The only med that made me dizzy is lipitor. It may be a precurser to vertigo. I would ask for a med change, The water pill should be OK. FYI: http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/valsartan_ad.htm That is causing your dizziness.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted March 13, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 13, 2008 Sometimes being dizzy is the side effect of low blood pressure. You should get a BP monitor and take you BP when you feel dizzy. The VA gave me one at no cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
