What To Do For Frequent Dizziness Though Take Losartan For High BP?

WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS I HAVE HAD DIZZINESS THAT SEEMS TO LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ROOM FEELS LIKE IT IS SPINNING. I HAVE LAID DOWN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND THE DIZZINESS WAS BETTER. I CURRENTLY TAKE LOSARTAN 25MG FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HAVE BEEN ON THIS MEDICATION FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I SOMETIMES FEEL SLIGHTLY NAUSEATED BUT NOT TO THE POINT OF MY STOMACH GETTING UPSET.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these spells of dizziness. The first thing would be to control you blood pressure to make sure there is not a big drop in blood pressure that cause this especially in the upright position. For now, I will advice that you avoid changing position rapidly especially from the lying to upright position. try to make gentle transitions. Also, stay well hydrated by drinking much water. If these measures should not help, then consider seeing your doctor for examination and investigation.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
