Thanks a lot for the response Sir.
I still have some 2 weeks of medication remaining for Thyroid. My BP leveles are in 90/60, 90/70 range when i checked yday. Probably because of Inderal tablet.
Should it be ok to wait and watch till this medication is over and see if Dizziness comes back to normal along with the other tablets? Or should i go to a neurologist in a week if this doesn't reduce?
Thanks
