What Causes Headaches Along With Dizziness While Suffering From Hepatitis C?

Hi I am a 42 year old female who have Hep C. I had my blood work done last Friday and they took 8 viles of blood and said I was dehydrated. Since then I have been drinking water, although not too much, but I have been having headaches and have been dizzy spells a lot every day. Is this related to them taking my blood? Or being hydrated? What can I do to not be dizzy?

Hello,

You feeling dizzy one of the reason can be the treatment you taking for hepatitis c like ribavirin which can lead to hemolytic anemia which can cause fatigue and dizziness.

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

Take care
