Dizzy Spells

[debster913]

Hi, all--
I have to make this short as I need to leave for work, but the past couple weeks I've been having some minor dizzy spells that last for a minute or two, and happen nearly daily. My blood pressure has been running anywhere from 88/56 to 100/63, and I figure the dizziness has more to do with my beta-blocker and an "on the lower side" BP.

Just wanted to ask you if this is something I should mention to my cardio, or just wait and mention it to him at my next appointment in April.

Seems to me that bears mentioning to the cardio. Even if it is the beta blocker--and I'll bet it is--you may need an adjustment in your meds.

It can't hurt to call your cardio, Debi. That bp could sure be a factor. But with all of this crazy weather we've been having, and the wild barometric changes, could you be having a sinus or inner ear issue?

I definitely would tell the cardio. I had the same problem recently and told my cardiologist; he had me come in before my scheduled appointment to check it out. It ended up with him lowering my blood pressure med dose. That has helped a lot with my dizziness. Best wishes.
