Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have just started getting light headed and when I get up or stand up quickly, the room begins to spin. I have never had this before. The only change is I have recently started taking a diraretic and using a prescription cream for pain in my shoulder.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, Thanks for asking. Spinning with change of posture is a symptom of vertigo./If you are taking diuratic... you are getting postural hypotension with the dosage. Please check with your doctor for measuring blood pressure/ vertigo for specific medication or changing the dose of diuertic or blood pressure medicine. Thanks.
