Hi,
The symptoms are because of the antihypertensive medication you are taking. Arise slowly when you get up from a long sleep or lying down, it will help you from that amusement ride.
You can lose weight by increasing fibrous diet and avoid carbohydrates. Vegetables and fruits in place of junk foods, rice and wheat based foods.
Take plenty of water and start exercise, but not too heavy. Increase your endurance with time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muzaffer Hussain Parray,
