Taking BP Medicine, Diovan. Why Do I Have Heart Racing, Light Headedness, Ringing In Ears. Am I Okay?
Thanks for posting your query.
I can think of three conditions which can cause lightheadedness when changing the position and these are:
1) BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) is caused by problems in the inner ear. Its symptoms are repeated episodes of positional vertigo which is a spinning sensation caused by changes in the position of the head. It can also cause diminished hearing and tinnitus.
2) The second possibility is of Meniere’s disease in which lightheadedness is also accompanied with hearing loss, roaring in ears and tinnitus or loud ringing noises in both the ears.
3) The third possibility is of anxiety and stress or cervical spine problems which can be caused by wrong ways of sitting like inappropriate position while using the computer.
My suggestion would be to get an ENT examination done from an ENT specialist to rule out BPPV and Meniere’s disease and get an x-ray cervical spine done.
