Does Taking Metformin And Metoprolol Tartrate Cause Headache And Dizziness?

I have been waking up with a headache and feeling dizzy the last few days. It gets better by late afternoon, but does not go completely away. I have diabetes and my blood sugar was at 174 this morning, which is on the low end for me. I take MetForman and Metropol Tratrate. What could be causing it?

Hi,

Suggestive of hypotension. Based on the given history your seem to be suffering from postural hypotension in which blood pressure can fall when a person changes from prolonged bed rest or sitting position to a standing position. The blood pressure lowering medication metoprolol appears to be responsible for your low blood pressure. I advise you to consult your treating doctor for a possible dose reduction of metoprolol or for an effective alternate but a safer medication to control your high blood pressure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
