What Causes Dizziness While On Lipitor?
Hello, I ve been taking lipitor/lopressor for years. My normal BP is 110/65. Recently I woke up dizzy and it continued whenever I move my head in various positions (speed of movement doesn t matter) AND my blood pressure spiked as high as 178/97. This (BP) continued for 24-hours. Without medication it s nearly back to close to normal but the dizziness continues. Causes?

Hello,
It is not related to Lipitor.
You can take antihypertensives like Amlodipine.
We have to rule out other causes like anemia and thyroid dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
