Brief Answer:
Dizziness

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The too medication don’t interact together. The dizziness and numbness are side effects from Zytiga usage usually.

Dizziness could be due to multiple myeloma symptoms too as you know.

In my opinion, you should have thoracic radiography for more information about your lungs too.

Hope I have answered your query.
