Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Chest Tightness
I am a 78 yr old female who suffered a mini stroke on 6/17/17. I am taking carvedilol 12.5 twice/day, clopidogrel 75 mg once/day 81 mil aspirin simvastatin 10 mg. Been to the emergency 4 times for side effects such as dizziness, unsteadiness, chest tightness. Why is it taking so long for these medications to work? I feel so lousy that I just would like to STOP taking them.

hi hope to guide you in a better way
you are taking high dose of carvedilol..it causes lethargy, hypotension and lousy feelings..reduce it's dose to 3.125mg twice daily.n secondly from aspirin and clopidogril take only one clopidogril 75 mg in morning more good to take so hold aspirin as both have same mechanism so no need to take both of them.
hope my reply take you out from your problem..
take good care.
