What Causes Dizziness While On Brilinta?
Hi I just had a stent put in 5 days ago. I want to fly out tomorrow to Seattle. My doctor said it was ok. I am taking Brilinta and finding that it is making me dizzy to the point I don't want to drive. I reported this to my doctor but he doesn't want to change any meds just yet. I'm 70 and in good health. I won't be driving in Seattle.

Hi,
Thanks for asking,
Brillinta cause dizziness as a side effect. You should visit your doctor earliest ( before you start for Seattle ) to assess the possibility & manage the state.
It is not advisable to stop the drug without asking the surgeon ( specially within few days of stent )
Take rest, be composed & consult doctor soon.
Thanks
