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.

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.
