What Causes Dizziness While On Asmanex Twisthaler?

Thank you. My husband is taking nexium for GERD which he has had on and off for about 10 years. Recently he seen a Pulmonolgist and taking Asmanex Twisthaler twice a day. He drinks plenty of water all day every day. Today he felt dizzy at the ofgice, thought his knees were going to buckle and made it back to his desk and felt better rest of day. We are both dieting to combat the battle of the bulge in our 50 s and not to take nexium, etc. in addition to walking daily, I think we both need to eat more protein during the day and more often. So I wondered if this dieting of ours when taking these two drugs may have contributed to his feeling faint today. I feel fine, but need more protein for sure. He feels fine now.....ok, those are the highlights and thanks for your time. A very nice dr. Ryyne seemed to be answering. I ferl awful as i proceeded there is a charge for this service. I do not like to waste a seasoned professionals time. Kind of think you need to tell people up front.....there is a charge. Thank you dr for your time.

Hi,

"As" per your clinical history is concerned, do take medication as per your treating Doctors advise. Dizziness has many pathological causes so to know the exact cause do one clinical examination by your treating Doctor and rule out anemia and if present then you can discuss iron with B complex caps regularly.

Do take diets rich in iron and you can add following to your day to day meals like red meat, pork, poultry, seafood, beans, dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, dried fruit, such as raisins and apricots. Iron-fortified cereals, bread and pasta etc.

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

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo,
