I'm seeking advice here because: I know there are others on here who have/have had medical problems; there are some medical professionals and para-professionals; as well as some with uncommon sense
I also understand that seeking advice here is not a substitute for advice from a medical professional or someone who has played one on TV
Anyhow, lately I've had some "light-headed' spells, not vertigo, not dizzy just not right in the head. I haven't been able to track a causative factor, though maybe tiredness contributes. I went to my clinic, the doctor had my blood pressure taken sitting and standing, normal--about a 4-5 point drop standing. The Doctor feels it is my blood pressure drop of about 15 points (~150/75 to 135/65) over the last month due to Lisinopril(sp?), my body readjusting to a 'better' blood pressure. A note--I was on 10mg for a month w/ little effect, went to 20mg about 4 weeks ago. So I do like my blood pressure being down but these "spells" really mess up my day. Any suggestions?
I did deal, for the first and only(?) time with BPV (Benign Positional Vertigo) about 2 months ago. Doesn't feel at all like that.
So I don't think it is an inner ear thing. My guess is it is BP related but what to do?
Please feel free to ask questions or make any comments, I don't mind
