What Causes Giddiness In A Person With Type 2 Diabetes?
I just took my blood pressure and it is 101/74 and I have a heart condition and had an angio done 2 years ago. I do exercise daily n I am eating right. I feel giddy all the time. I am on metformine reunited 20mg simvastatine and aspirin cardio. What is wrong with me?

thank you user for your query
I understand your concern at HCM.
as per your history all I can suggest you is that simvastatin causes generalised muscle weakness
and metformin causes only gastrointestinal symptoms mainly nausea.Hence as per my advice you can start taking atorvastatin instead of simvastatin.Rest your blood presure is doing fine, though the systolic is bit towards lower side.
If you want then you may contact any endocrinologist before going on with what I'm suggesting.
god bless
